DIY: Almond Meal



Turns out almond meal is pretty straight forward as a DIY.  Having twice made almond milk in the last couple of weeks (which you can check out here), I had the chance to test out making almond meal with the remnants from that DIY.

Based on my quick research, the approach was pretty consistent and entails:

Preheat your oven to the lowest setting possible.  Mine was 170˚.




Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or with parchment paper.  Spread damp almond meal in a single layer on the baking sheet.  Bake for 1 hour.


Toss the almond meal after the hour is up and redistribute into a single layer.  Bake for an additional 1 hour.

After the 2 hours, toss the almond meal and check whether it is sufficiently dry.  It may require an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on your oven and the level of humidity.


Transfer dried almond meal to a food processor and pulse until smooth.



Store in an airtight container.


Now onto figuring out what I’m going to use the de-fatted almond meal for J
Enjoy!
