Almond Flour
Looking for a low carb and gluten-free alternative to all-purpose flour? Try this Paleo-friendly flour at home with just one ingredient: whole almonds. Also try our Almond Flour Pancakes as a delicious grain-free way to start your morning.
Ingredients
- 285 g (2 cups) raw almonds, or blanched sliced almonds, no skin
Directions
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 5-7 seconds, then quickly stop the machine.
- Remove the lid and scrape the sides of the container with a spatula. Repeat the same process until desired consistency is achieved.
Notes
A finely ground almond flour is a great baking substitute if you need a light, gluten-free and protein-filled flour. Almond flour with a coarser grind may be used as a breading, binder, or wherever a coarsely ground flour is needed - just be careful when cooking it, as it will burn more easily than other flours.
