How to use almond meal and almond flour.
Both almond flour and almond meal are used in many gluten-free and keto recipes and are great low-carb options.
Use almond meal as a breadcrumb substitute, coating for snack bites, or to add crunch and texture to crusts, bars, and baked goods. Almond meal also will give a recipe a more rugged or textured, pebbly appearance thanks to the almond skin.
Almond flour is a wholesome alternative to other flours and is well suited for gluten-free baking, as it can produce a smooth finish or fluffy texture. You also can use almond flour as a sauce thickener or as a key ingredient in crackers, breads, and cereals. Try substituting one-third of your favorite gluten-free flour blend with almond flour for moist and light delicacies.
