Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds (blanched or unblanched)
Directions
Step 1
Measure out 1 cup of raw almonds. If you are aiming for a finer almond flour, consider using blanched almonds (almonds with the skins removed).
Step 2
Place the almonds into a high-speed blender or a food processor. For best results, use a device capable of processing nuts finely and evenly.
Step 3
Pulse the almonds in short bursts, around 10-15 seconds at a time, to prevent the almonds from releasing their natural oils and turning into almond butter.
Step 4
After each pulse, pause and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor to ensure all the almonds are ground evenly.
Step 5
Continue pulsing until the almonds reach your desired texture. For almond meal, the mixture will be coarser with visible almond pieces. For almond flour, aim for a finer powder-like consistency.
Step 6
Once processed, sift the almond meal or flour through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any larger pieces. Any remaining chunks can be returned to the blender or food processor for another round of pulsing.
Step 7
Store the finished almond meal or flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator or freezer.
