Instructions

Prepare all the almonds. You can make these two almond pantry ingredients in one go since both recipes use only almonds. Just make sure to prepare unpeeled almonds and peeled almonds.
If you are the same as me and use a Magic Bullet blender, place the almonds in the blender cups separately and prepare for grinding. If you use a food processor or a coffee grinder, you can make them one batch at a time.
Once assembled separately, pulse the almond flour and meal until they turn into fine ground almonds with a flour texture.
Once you grind both into your desired consistency, remove them from the blender, check if coarse almonds are still left, and grind them a few more pulses.

Notes

Almonds: Make sure you are using fresh almonds that are good quality if you are planning to make a massive batch of almond flour or almond meal.
Blender: Use a sturdy and good-quality blender to grind your almonds for the best results possible.
Sift the almonds: This process is optional, but you can also do it if you aim for a finer consistency for your almond flour and meal.
Blanching almonds: If you do not have almonds without the skin, quick blanching will help release the outer layer, making it easy to peel.
