Almond Meal (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

• 2 cups (286 g) almonds [or blanched sliced almonds], no skin

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 5-7 seconds, then quickly stop the machine.
3. 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 meal 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.
