Versatile pantry staple. Readily available at a good price from Costco. I've used it for cookies, but more often use it for thickening curry and pasta sauce. Mild taste, good nongritty texture. Convenient zipper bag.

So thankful that Costco sells this quality baking essential at such a fair price! #almond flour is a great choice for #glutenfree recipes. Though I don’t consider this one truly superfine — there are definitely visible granules — it has worked well enough in the cookies and tart bases that I’ve baked. As a bonus, it tastes lovely and also fills your kitchen with the warm, nutty aroma of roasting almonds! I used this #flour to make thumbprint cookies for a Sunday afternoon picnic with friends! #veganbaking It was very easy, and I’m happy to report that they were a hit, since they all but disappeared. An observation about what you can expect with this flour: my cookies started out crumbly straight out of the oven; with a few hours of cooling, they acquired a bit of a crunchy snap, and after a day or so, they became rather chewy. It wasn’t an issue for me since I enjoy all of those textures, but it may be something to consider if you’re planning to store or prepare ahead of time. I recommend keeping this almond flour on hand if you like to bake: it’s a great value (each bag lasts a long time) and can be counted on to bring a little something special to your creations.
I really love the unique tastes that alternative flours bring to their dishes. This almond flour is sweet and nutty. When I was last in France I loved how so many of the pastries used almond flour or flavoring. I tried to make some cookies using a recipe I found on Instagram. The almond flavor came through nicely and complimented the jam, but the texture was just a bit too chewy for me. I hope to continue experimenting with almond flour to make tasty #glutenfree desserts. Here's the recipe I found: - 2 cups almond flour - 1/4 cups maple syrup - 1/4 cups coconut oil - 2 tsp baking powder - 1 tsp vanilla - dash of salt - Fruit jam for filling - Powdered sugar for dusting (optional) 1. Combine all dough ingredients 2. Wrap dough in plastic and freeze for 10-15 minutes 3. Roll out dough to be about 2mm thick. You need to do this and the next step quickly before the coconut oil melts 4. Use a large cookie cutter to make all the cookies, use a smaller cutter to make windows on only half of the cookies 5. Bake for 5-6 minutes at 350°F 6. Assemble after they have cooled and hardened #almond #almondflour #veganbaking #veganrecipes #cookies #dessert #pastry #valentinesday This review earned $0.70 in donation credits
This is a really good value! The almond flour is very smooth and superfine with no pieces of skin. It has a slight sweet smell which is good because some other brands smell bad. I tried making vegan macarons but I did not succeed so I will need to try again. This might be my go to brand because of the value.
This is another great product for a great price. I keep it refrigerated, tip I received from my Nutritionist. I use it mainly for baking.
