How to Make Almond Flour

Making almond flour involves blending whole raw almonds that are unsalted and unroasted using a high-powered blender. The almonds should be processed for 1 to 2 minutes, with attention paid to avoid over-blending which could begin releasing oils and create almond butter instead of flour.

After blending, the almond mixture is sifted to eliminate lumps or larger almond pieces, improving texture and consistency. These larger bits can be saved for snacking or added to smoothies.

The prepared almond flour should be stored in an airtight container and can be kept in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to 8 weeks. This homemade almond flour is suitable for various baking and cooking applications that require finely ground nuts.
