Ingredients

  • 2 cups almonds blanched or silvered

Instructions

Blender

  • Measure how many almonds you need to make enough flour. Don’t use too little!
  • Place almonds into a blender. Blend on high speed for 5-10 seconds.
  • Stop and scrape down the sides (or you can pick up the blender and shake)
  • Blend for 10 seconds more, or until you get a soft, fine flour
  • Blend in short increments! If you overblend, you will get oily flour or even almond butter. The goal is to get fluffy powder.
  • Use your homemade almond flour in any baking recipe. 

Food processor

  • Measure how many almonds you need to make enough flour (minimum 1 cup).
  • Place almonds into a food processor that has a blade attachment. 
  • Blend in 1-second increments for 50-60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides every 10 seconds or so.
  • The short pulses are vital to successful almond flour! Do not over-process or else the almonds will be oily (or even turn into almond butter!)
  • Use your homemade almond flour in any baking recipe.

Notes

  • We recommend that you use at least one cup of almonds when making your own flour.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in cool, dry, and dark place.
