Convert Almond Meal measurements
Almond Meal Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert almond meal from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Almond meal is made from ground whole almonds (skins and all), giving it a slightly coarser, nuttier texture than blanched almond flour. One metric cup (250 ml) of almond meal weighs approximately 100 grams or 3.53 ounces, though this can vary depending on how finely it has been milled. It's a staple in gluten-free and low-carb baking, and works beautifully in frangipane, macarons, crumble toppings, and flourless cakes.
Almond meal is coarser and lighter than regular flour, so it can be tricky to measure consistently by volume. A loosely scooped cup can weigh quite a bit less than a packed one. Weighing in grams is the most reliable approach, and this page makes it easy to convert between grams, cups, ounces, tablespoons, and more.

Related to Almond Meal
Almond Flour
Almond flour is made from blanched almonds so it's finer and paler. Result is a lighter crumb with a subtler almond flavour. Works in macarons, cakes, and frangipane. See our Almond Flour converter.
Oat Flour
Nut-free swap that keeps the gluten-free credentials. Both weigh 100 g per cup, but oat flour absorbs more liquid. Add 1 tbsp extra fat per cup to keep bakes from drying out. See our Oat Flour converter.
Almonds
Almond meal is whole almonds ground to a coarse flour, lighter per cup (100 g vs 143 g for whole). Grind whole almonds to make your own meal, or weigh out almond meal when a recipe needs the ground form rather than the nut. See our Almonds converter.
Slivered Almonds
Slivered almonds are thin cut strips that stay whole as a topping, while almond meal is milled to a coarse flour for the crumb. The two are not interchangeable, so convert by weight when a recipe calls for one form or the other. See our Slivered Almonds converter.
