Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
Instructions
Place 1 cup of raw almonds into a high-speed blender or food processor. Ensure the equipment is clean and dry before starting.
Pulse the almonds in short, quick bursts. Stop and check the texture frequently to avoid over-processing, which can turn the almonds into almond butter.
Continue pulsing until the almonds reach a fine, grainy texture resembling sand. Be mindful of any larger chunks and ensure they are broken down.
Once you’ve achieved the desired consistency, transfer the almond meal to an airtight container for storage.
Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month, or refrigerate to extend freshness.
