Let’s explore some basic dos and don’ts of baking with almond flour.
• Do tent baking dishes with foil while they bake. Because of its higher fat content, almond flour tends to brown faster.
• Do store almond flour in the fridge or freezer for maximum staying power and freshness.
• Do cool baked goods for at least 30 minutes. Almond flour creates baked goods that are extra moist and tender, so they may crumble or fall apart if handled before completely cooled.
• Do use high-quality almond flour rather than almond meal. Try Blue Diamond Almond Flour. In the almond business for decades, Blue Diamond delivers a finely ground product, using high-quality California-grown almonds.

• Don’t pack almond flour into the measuring cup. Scoop directly from the bag then level off the top.
• Don’t worry about overmixing. Because almond flour is gluten free, your batter won’t develop a tough texture as it might with other flours.
• Don’t store finished products in an airtight container. Almond flour’s higher fat content tends to keep baked goods soft and moist for several days longer than those made with conventional flour.

Thanks to its high fat content, almond flour tends to achieve a golden brown faster than baked goods made with conventional flour. Generally, decrease the suggested oven temperature by 25 F and reduce cook time by about one-quarter.
