Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

Place approximately 1/4 cup of almonds into the bowl of a food processor or a clean coffee grinder. (1 minute)

02

Step
3 mins

Pulse the almonds in short bursts until a fine, flour-like consistency is achieved. Be careful not to over-process, as this can result in almond butter. (2-3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Sift the ground almonds through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, airtight container. This will remove any larger pieces and ensure a consistent texture. (2 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Return any larger pieces remaining in the sieve to the food processor and pulse again until finely ground. (1 minute)

05

Step
7 mins

Repeat steps 1-4 until all almonds have been transformed into flour. (5-10 minutes)

06

Step
0 mins

Cover the container tightly and store the almond flour in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 months, or in the freezer for longer storage.

For the finest textured flour, use blanched almonds (skins removed).
If using a coffee grinder, ensure it is completely clean and dry before grinding the almonds.
Don't fill the food processor/grinder too full. Working in smaller batches prevents overheating and ensures a more even grind.
Almond flour is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
