Almond Flour
Description
This almond flour recipe calls for processing slivered almonds in a high-speed blender to achieve a fine, crumbly texture similar to commercial almond flour. The almonds are blended quickly to avoid overheating and releasing natural oils that would cause the mixture to become creamy almond butter. Stirring during blending helps break up clumps and ensure uniform consistency.
Almond flour made this way can be used in baked goods or recipes requiring almond meal or flour, providing a nutty flavor and slightly coarser texture compared to refined wheat flours. It is important to blend just enough to achieve the desired consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almonds slivered
Instructions
- Blend the almonds in a high speed blender until they become a fine meal, about 10 seconds, depending on your blender.
- Stir to loosen any large clumps or almond pieces near the base of the blender. Don't over-blend or your almonds will start turning into almond butter.
- Use in any recipe that calls for almond flour or almond meal.
Notes
- Do not use nut flours as a direct 1:1 substitute for all-purpose or gluten-free flour blends in recipes.
