  • These figures use the metric cup (250 ml). A US cup is slightly smaller at 240 ml, so it holds a little less. Use the US cup converter →
  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →
  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Almond flour is made from blanched almonds. The skins are removed before grinding, giving it a finer texture and lighter colour than almond meal. One metric cup (250 ml) of almond flour weighs approximately 96 grams or 3.39 ounces. It's the go-to choice for delicate bakes like French macarons, almond cakes, and light gluten-free pastries where a smooth, consistent crumb is important.

Almond flour is finely milled and airy, so it compresses easily in a cup — how you scoop it makes a real difference to the weight you end up with. Measuring by grams every time takes the guesswork out entirely, and this page lets you convert between grams, cups, ounces, tablespoons, and more.

  • blanched almond flour
  • fine almond flour

Almond meal is made from whole ground almonds with the skins left on, making it coarser, denser, and nuttier than almond flour. The two can be swapped 1:1 in most recipes — using almond meal instead of almond flour will produce a slightly denser texture, a stronger almond flavour, and a darker, speckled appearance. See our Almond Meal converter.

Almond flour is whole almonds blanched and milled fine, lighter per cup (96 g vs 143 g for whole). Whole almonds are not a direct swap; blitz them into flour, or weigh almond flour when a recipe calls for the ground, skinless form. See our Almonds converter.

Slivered almonds are cut strips used whole as a topping, while almond flour is milled to a fine powder for the crumb. They play different roles in a bake, so convert by weight rather than swapping one for the other. See our Slivered Almonds converter.
