Oh thank you

Nancy · Answer

Yes to previous good suggestions suggestions....various seed or nut butters, avocado and more.
Also, because pb is mostly legume and fat, also consider - depending on the recipe and harmony with related ingredients - pureed beans or rich thick dairy substitutes (cream cheese or creme fraiche).

AntoniaJames · Answer

Cashew butter is also a good choice!  It depends on what you're making of course. For baked goods, I would substitute sunflower seed butter (sometimes called "sunbutter" in recipes) or almond butter. ;o)
