Almond flour (also known as ground almonds) has become one of my go-to ingredients. It’s a fantastic alternative to all-purpose flour and produces treats that are not only healthier but every bit as tasty. It’s one of my most-used ingredients in keto desserts.
Below, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite tried-and-true almond flour recipes I make repeatedly. Just click the recipe name or photo to check them out.
What is almond flour?
Almond flour is essentially finely ground flour made from blanched almonds, offering a light, nutty flavor. It’s naturally gluten-free and commonly used in low-carb and grain-free baking.
What is the difference between almond meal and almond flour?
Almond meal and almond flour differ in two main ways. First, almond flour has a finer texture compared to the coarser almond meal. Second, almond meal is made from whole almonds with the skins on, while almond flour comes from blanched almonds with the skins removed (also known as blached almond flour).
The good news? Unless a recipe specifically says otherwise, you can use them interchangeably in any of the recipes below.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, it is. Almond flour (and almond meal) are simply finely ground whole almonds, so using them is essentially the same as eating almonds in a powdered form.
Depending on what recipe you are making, you can sometimes replace the regular or all-purpose flour with almond flour. Baked goods that use almond flour will have less rise but will have a more tender crumb. Cookies will be even more buttery and spread a little more.
Recipes that call for yeast will be moister and more tender. However, it’s not recommended for chewy or crusty bread or a traditional pizza crust.
