Blanched Almond Meal

Almond meal contains natural oils that can go rancid. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration or freezing will extend its shelf life significantly.

Blanched almond meal is a fantastic gluten-free flour alternative in cakes, cookies, and muffins.

Use it as a binder in meatballs or veggie burgers.

Toast it lightly in a dry pan for a nutty flavor boost to sprinkle on salads or yogurt.

Chocolate

Citrus (lemon, orange)

Honey

Coconut

Spices (cinnamon, cardamom)

Substituting it 1:1 for all-purpose flour in recipes that rely on gluten for structure can result in a denser, crumbly texture.

Over-mixing batters made with almond meal can lead to toughness.
