Almond Flour

Almond flour is a finely ground flour made from blanched almonds, providing a nutty flavor and moist texture to baked goods. It's a popular alternative to wheat flour in gluten-free and low-carb baking due to its ability to add structure and moisture without gluten. The high-fat content contributes richness, while its subtle sweetness enhances cookies, cakes, and pastries. Almond flour can create a dense, tender crumb, making it ideal for delicate confections like macarons and financiers.
