Almond Meal?

I stopped by a local organic grocery store last night. I picked up a container of almond meal. It looks like a grainy flour. Can that be used to make blocks? In place of either the wheat flour or the ground nuts?

Yes it can be. I replace the wheat flour with homemade oat flour (regular-not instant or quick- oat meal ground fine in a coffee grinder) the almond meal can be used as part of the nuts, I use pecan meal. Wish I could find the almond meal!

Anne, I found the almond meal/flour at Publix in the International section. The brand is Bob's Red Mill. Not all Publix have it though. They also had hazelnut flour. I would have bought it but it was expired and I wasn't going to take a chance on it being rancid at THAT price. Maybe I'll ask the manager if they would want to get rid of that expired product. I would need a big discount. :tilt I think it was regularly $12.99.

I found this at a store called Earth Fare. Our version of Whole Foods I guess. I decided to give it a try, and will use it the next time I make blocks. At something like $9 per pound, it probably won't be a permanent trade. LOL
