The most common type of almond flour that recipes call for is blanched almond flour. Removing the almond skins gives the almond flour a more fine texture for a fluffy baked good. If you want to use almonds with the skin on, I’d use it in recipes that call for almond meal instead, or expect the result to be slightly more dense.

I recently had to return a bag of Keto flour made with MCT oil because it turned out to be $18!!!

Do you have a recipe for making your own keto flour? Also if I want to make a loaf of bread that requires at least 3.5 cups of regular flour. Can organic flour be mixed half and half for a low carb alternative?

Marcia, in a Cuisinart, you would use the metal blade, the one you use for mincing or chopping.

Lynn,

And many costco’s also have the two pounds of sliced almonds for $7, so $3.50 a pound. Price is not that different from the whole – but way easier to grind in a blender or food processor!

Oh thanks so much for your experience. I found this very helpful and love your tips, that were also helpfu. Making Macarons

This would be great dusted on top of a frosted cake, or ice cream, brownies, etc. However given the price of almonds, I think that using this as a substitute for flour in say a loaf of bread would be extremely expensive.
Now consider.. gluten free vs HUGE amount of calories and FAT.. Don’t sacrifice the healthy choice for a trendy “fad” Humans have been eating gluten for millennia.

Yes, I think they would need to be totally dry before grinding them into flour.
