Using Almond Meal in Your Baking

Choose a recipe written for the nut flour on your bag. Almond flour, almond meal and chestnut flour have separate profiles; keep the recipe's flour name and grind in mind when shopping.

Nut flours can go rancid during storage. Follow the Storage section and your bag’s directions for refrigeration or freezing. Check the expiry date before using an older bag.

Recipes to consider: Cookies, Cakes, Quick Breads. For a loaf, choose a recipe developed with this flour so you have the full blend and binder amounts to follow.

If a recipe specifies blanched almond flour or almond meal, keep that distinction when shopping. Do not apply an almond-flour recipe’s instructions to every nut flour.

Use the Flour Converter for estimated flour amounts and any conversion limits, or the Blend Builder to compare recipe-type blend presets. See methodology for data sources.
