Instructions

  • Prepare your whole raw almonds by measuring how much you want to use. You can make as little or as much almond meal as you need for your recipe. Do not peel the almonds since we are making almond meal, not almond flour.
  • Transfer the almonds to the blender or food processor and pulse in short bursts until they are fine and powdery. Check to see if the texture of the ground almonds is okay for you. If it still has a coarse texture, pulse for a few more seconds.
  • Once the almond meal is perfectly ground, you can use them immediately or store them later.

Notes

  • Do not overprocess: Be careful when grinding the almonds. If you overprocess, you may end up with almond butter instead of ground almond meal.
  • Skin: Leaving the skin on gives you an almond meal instead of almond flour with additional fiber, which we all need.
  • Blender: Use any type of blender you have at home. A food processor or a coffee grinder will work to make the almond meal.
