How to Make Almond Flour?
To make almond flour, which is indispensable for ketogenic and low-carb diets, at home, all you need is a strong rondo with almonds!
Equipment
- 1 food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
Instructions
Blanched Almond Flour
- First, pour enough boiling water to cover the almonds. Wait according to the size of the almonds. Add boiling water again if necessary.
- Peel the shells. Afterwards, put the almonds on a baking tray and put them in the oven at 100℃ and dry the almonds for about 1 hour.
- You can grind the dried almonds in the blender or the food processor.
Unblanched Almond Flour
- Put raw almonds in the food processor in parts. Pulse until you reach a flour-like consistency. Stop it when it starts to clump on the side. Be careful. If you grind too much, the oil from the almonds will come out and you will have almond paste instead of almond flour.
Notes
Dietitian recommendation:
- If you have a kidney disease or a history of kidney stones, it would be better to choose coconut flour rather than almond flour.
- Almond flour is rich in oxalates and can cause stone formation when consumed in excess.
- I recommend getting approval from your doctor before doing one of the ketogenic or low-carb diets.
