Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour

Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour is a bagged almond flour with one ingredient: “Blanched Almonds.” Bob’s says it is “made from whole blanched almonds” and finely ground. Bob’s product page titles it “Almond Flour”; its articles call it “Super-Fine Almond Flour”.

Who it suits

It suits bakers who want a single-ingredient nut flour and have a recipe written for almond flour. It is made from almonds, a tree nut, so it is not for anyone avoiding tree nuts. Our almond flour vs coconut flour labels guide compares its panel with Bob’s Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour.

What reviewers say

The Kitchen Professor baked cookies, muffins and a cake with it and described the cookies as soft and chewy without a gritty or grainy texture. Its cake batter came out thick enough that it had to be spread into the pans.

Pros

• Single-ingredient label: blanched almonds

Cons

• We did not have a swap ratio from Bob’s for using it in place of other flours
• “Super-fine” is Bob’s description of the grind, not a defined label term

Cautions

Contains almonds, a tree nut: the ingredient line reads “Blanched Almonds.”, and Bob’s says people with a tree nut allergy should not eat almond flour. If you have a tree nut allergy, ask your doctor or allergist first, and read the allergen statement printed on your bag.
