Almond Flour: Grams to Cups
1 cup of almond flour = 96 grams
One US cup of almond flour weighs 96 grams. One 250 ml metric cup — the one used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — holds 101 grams. To convert any weight, divide the grams by the figure for your cup.
Blanched almond flour weighs 96 g per cup (King Arthur Baking). Almond meal, made from unblanched almonds with the skins on, is coarser and lighter at about 84 g per cup on the same chart.
Almond flour is not a cup-for-cup swap
A cup of almond flour weighs 96 g against 125 g for all-purpose, and it has no gluten. Replacing wheat flour cup for cup gives you 23% less flour by weight and nothing to hold the structure together, which is why almond-flour recipes lean on eggs.
Use recipes written for almond flour where you can. When adapting, the usual starting point is to replace up to about a quarter of the wheat flour by weight in cookies and quick breads, and to expect a moister, more tender result that browns faster.
Measuring it
Almond flour is oily and clumps, so press lumps out with the back of a spoon and spoon it lightly into the cup. Packed down it can weigh 110 g or more. Fresh almond flour is best stored in the fridge or freezer; bring it to room temperature before measuring, because cold almond flour stays clumpy.
Macarons are the one place the difference between almond flour and almond meal matters most: the skins in almond meal make the shells speckled and less smooth, so macaron recipes specify superfine blanched almond flour, by weight.

How to measure almond flour accurately
The 96 g figure assumes the spooned-and-levelled method: spoon the almond flour into a dry measuring cup and sweep the top flat with a straight edge. Scooping the cup through the bag compacts it and gives a heavier cup.

- ¾ cup = 72 g
- ½ cup = 48 g
