Yes, really! Come long fellow Steemians and I will show you how! It's really simple, trust me!
If you’re buying Almond meal/flour at the store you’re probably paying between 8-9 dollars for a 16 oz bag!!
Used widely for baking cookies, muffins and breads, Almond flour/meal has a bit of a nutty aroma. Almond flour can be used in many recipes in place of all-purpose flour. Almond flour is made from blanched and skinned almonds. Almond meal is made from almonds with the skin left on. Almond meal can be a bit denser in texture. Both are gluten free, high in protein, low in carbohydrates and high in vitamins.
If you followed my post yesterday see here we were making almond milk. You may remember we not only made milk but we also had almond pulp when we were finished!
Well, I hope you held on to your pulp!
Because we are going to make almond meal with the leftover pulp!
It is so easy!!
Preparation:
• Preheat your oven to its lowest setting. (My oven’s lowest setting is 200 degrees)
• Spread your almond pulp on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Place in oven for 2-3 hours. When pulp is dry, take out and cool.
• When cool, pour dried almond meal in blender or food processor and whirl until it's a fine powder
See! It’s that easy!
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge! Happy baking!
Now read on, this is the best part!
We used 1 cup of raw almonds and we made 48 oz fresh almond milk and 12 oz of Almond meal. The last time I purchased raw almonds the cost was roughly $2.25/cup.
We all know you can easily pay 3 dollars for a 32 oz container of Almond milk and a 16 oz package of almond meal costs between 8-9 dollars! Not only are you saving money but best of all,
FRESH FOOD AND NO ADDITIVES, NO PRESERVATIVES.
That sounds like a win-win situation for all! I hope you all will try it!
I hope you have enjoyed my post today. Please stop by any time, I’d love to hear from you!!
