What are Blanched Almonds?
Blanched almonds are almonds that have been boiled, cooled, then had their skin removed. Even without the skins, they are still packed with nutrients, such as protein, vitamin E, and magnesium. Making almond flour from scratch is so easy and perfect for gluten-free baking!
Almonds are a popular ingredient choice for those with celiac disease, on a keto diet, or who just prefer to avoid gluten. Blanched almond flour has a light, nutty flavor and chewy texture. Though a mild difference, some prefer the taste of blanched almonds over those with the skin, as sometimes the skin can have a slight bitterness.
If you can’t find blanched almonds at the store, you can remove the skin from raw almonds by the following process: boil nuts for 5 minutes, remove from heat and cool immediately under running cold water, then rub the almonds between your fingers or under a tea towel. The skin should peel off easily.
Ingredients (Just one!)
Almonds, Blanched – Do not buy roasted or salted almonds! Only blanched, raw almonds will work for this Blanched Almond Flour recipe. Using a different type will yield another flavor profile and texture.
