What is Almond Flour?
Made simply from ground almonds, almond flour is a low carb and gluten free baking alternative to traditional flours. It has a slightly sweet flavor and yields soft, moist baked goods.
Most commonly, you will see blanched almond flour, which is light yellow in color and works well in gluten free cakes, cookies, or pastries. Unblanched almond flour (often called almond meal) does not remove the skins, resulting in a courser texture and nuttier taste.
While you can substitute almond meal or flour in many recipes that call for wheat flour, trying to do so in a direct 1-to-1 ratio may give you crumbly results due to the lack of gluten and differing absorption properties. If you want to achieve the best results with your almond flour baking endeavors, I recommend going with a recipe that has been formulated to use this specific flour alternative.
