Best Quality Almond Powder

Being on Keto I find it sustainable because I make my old favorite foods in a Keto friendly manner. Almond flour is probably one of the most important ingredients.
Many Keto recipes call for almond flour, but not all almond flour is the same. I have tried 6 different brands and many leave your food gritty and dense!Blue Diamond nuts are my favorite and so is their almond flour. It has a great flavor and less grit. It is lighter in color and ground finer than many of its competitors. I have remade recipes I originally didn’t like and with this almond flour I liked. I don’t mind paying a little extra when the quality is so much better. I recommend this to anyone needing a good go to almond flour!

I’m going to be honest here. I make about 75{98880d97af0555a3a517c8aae666eeb64e7bd6d49cbbe05617dcb138f6e48200} of my own Almond Meal & Almond Flour (and other Nut & Seed Flours). Sometimes, it’s just easier to purchase the ready made varieties. If making your own Almond Flour, you have to blanch the almonds, remove the skins, dry, then grind to a fine flour. Making Almond Meal is much easier.

I prefer Almond Meal when making Breads & some types of Cookies & Brownies, because the meal has a nuttier texture. If you’re wanting to make Cakes, Pastries, Gravies, Sauces, Etc., then you really should lean more towards the Almond Flour. It makes a “lighter” finished product, which is more like traditional flours. You don’t want the heavier grainy effect you get with Almond Meal.

When making Cakes and most baked goods, with Almond Flour, I use about 1/4 cup Coconut Flour to every 2 cups of Almond Flour, plus 2 teaspoons Xanthum gum (glucomannan or any gum) to help stabilize it. I usually make up a mix of:

Almond Flour Baking Mix
4 cups Almond Flour
1/2 C. Coconut Flour
1 1/2 T Glucomannan (or other gum)

Put it in a vacuum sealed container for when you need it. Follow recipe, omitting coconut flour & gum, if called for.

Here’s a quick little recipe you can make. If you want to make little Vanilla Mug-Cakes, “omit the Cocoa” & “double the Vanilla”.

MAXIS CHOCOLATE MUG-CAKES (No Gluten, Eggs, Dairy or Sugar)

2 Cups Almond Flour Baking Mix (Recipe Above)
1 Cup Stevia
3 TBSP Cocoa
1 tsps. dark cocoa (optional-like Hershey’s powdered)
1 tsps. Baking Soda
3/4 tsps. Sea Salt

Whisk Above Together.
Then add:

1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (melted)
1 tsps. Vanilla
1 tsps. Vinegar
1 Cup Water or Nut Milk (room temperature)

Mix everything together and place into 5 Ramekins or Mugs. Put onto a plate and into the Microwave. Depending on the wattage of your microwave, it should take from about 3 to 5 minutes. If they aren’t quite done, put them back in for 30 second intervals. They don’t take long. As an icing, I like to mix up some Powdered Peanut Butter (regular or chocolate, with a little nut milk and spread on top).

Real fine and no big chunks, really good price for the weight. Perfect for making French macarons…

I have switched most baking to almond flour because I can not eat wheat etc. any grains due to the inflammation of my arthritis.
This is a very nice flour to use, fair price too! Already ordered another!

Best of all, Blue Diamond Almond Flour allows me to bake. I don’t care for coconut flavor in savory items, especially biscuits. This makes great cookies and since I’ve discovered Oat Fiber… it makes Great Biscuits v great biscuits. My daughter and I have purchased this product multiple times and will continue being a customer.

Great price ! I didn’t want to get a club membership just to buy my almond flour so this is a great option , same quantity better price and this brand is known for their good products so you can’t go wrong.

Never tried this brand but with covid19 and all flours are gone i went with ordering this product online. I love it!! My macarons came out perfect. When i sifted i usually have pretty big pieces left behind (which is why you sift) there were no large pieces of almond left in the sifter. Will definitely be ordering again!

This flour makes excellent almond bread. It works great in any recipe using almond flour…….So happy I found this brand. Only negative thing is the bag does not want to re-seal. I think it’s because the almond flour gets clogged in the track that is supposed to seal so I put into a baggy to store it….. As long as this price is in effect I will continue to buy…….
