- 2 cups almonds blanched or silvered
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.
- 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.
