You have almond pulp and you’re witty mind wants to make almond flour.
Good on ya!
You’ve come to the right place.
You’ll also discover the many things you can make with that almond flour via some recipes we use below.
Let’s get baking!
Making almond flour
Making your own almond flour at home is easy and will save you an average of $10 if you’re used to buying it in stores. It’s delicious but pricy.
But not anymore! You’re about to save money and create scrumptious recipes with your own almond flour.
The leftover pulp from our Homemade Almond Milk recipe creates the most flavorful almond pulp ever!
The Supply List
- wet almond pulp
- large baking pan with edges
- parchment paper
- food processor
- storage containers
Directions
- Set the oven temp to roughly 150 degrees.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread a 1/4in layer of almond pulp across the whole sheet. If there’s a lot of pulp, it likely will need to be done in a couple of batches.
- Place the pulp on the tray in the oven. Allow it to dehydrate for about 45 minutes or until the pulp is no longer wet. Check often and stir around the pulp as needed to expose any wet areas.
- Remove the dehydrated pulp from the oven and let it cool.
- Place the dried pulp in the food processor or high powered blender, and blend until the pulp begins to resemble flour. It won’t be a fine grind, but it should be small.
- Store fresh almond meal in containers in a cool dry place.
Important note: the almond meal must be fully dried before storing in containers. Any remaining moisture will cause the almond flour to mold. Do not store the almond flour in the fridge as condensation from the fridge will cause it to mold.
How to use almond flour
Use the homemade almond flour as you normally would in any recipe that calls for it. I don’t recommend using it in place of regular white or wheat flours – they are completely different.
Here are ways in which we have used our homemade almond flour:
- Energy balls
- Macaroons
- Waffles – I love making these Sweet Potato Waffles with it (oh so good!)
- Pancakes
- Pie crust
- Bread and muffins
- Cookies (like our almond meal tea cookies pictured below)
- Patties
- Meatloaf
- Breaded chicken or veggies
