Instructions

For making these two recipes, prepare your almonds in two forms. One with skins, and one without skins or blanched almonds.
Place your peeled and unpeeled almonds on separate magic bullet cups and start grinding them. Pulse the blender a few times instead of pressing to make sure you control the consistency.
After grinding the almonds, take out the cup from the blender and check if the consistency of both ground almond meal and almond flour is okay for you. If there are still large pieces of almonds, you can just grind them again.

Notes

Blend your almonds in small amounts because when blended too much, it can lead to almond butter.
If your almond flour is oily, let the almonds dry out fully before grinding.
Optionally, you can sift the mixture after grinding the almonds, especially for the almond flour to catch any larger pieces.
