How to Measure Almond Flour Accurately
Stir the bag first — almond flour separates into dense meal and oily clumps — then spoon and level gently. Because it is heavier per pinch than wheat flour but lighter per cup, recipes for it are almost always written in grams; a 96 g cup measured loosely can become 120 g when packed, wrecking a fragile gluten-free batter.
Storing Almond Flour & Common Substitutes
Storage
Nuts go rancid at room temperature within weeks. Keep almond flour sealed in the refrigerator (3–6 months) or freezer (up to a year), and away from onions and spices — the fat absorbs odors. If it smells like crayons or paint, it is past saving.
Substitutions
Sunflower seed flour swaps 1:1 by volume for a nut-free version (expect a green tint from chlorogenic acid — harmless). Finely ground blanched hazelnut flour works 1:1 with a flavor change. Do not substitute wheat flour 1:1 in gluten-free recipes.
