Why almond flour gets its own measurement
Almond flour is lighter by the cup than many wheat flours, and almond meal can measure differently from finely blanched almond flour. That matters when recipes switch between grams and cups.
If a recipe gives grams, use the gram amount. If it gives cups, spoon the flour into the cup, level it with a straight edge, and avoid pressing it down unless the recipe says packed.
Almond flour conversion FAQ
How many grams is 1/4 cup of almond flour?
One quarter US cup of blanched almond flour is about 24 grams when spooned and leveled. Lightly packed almond flour may be closer to 28 grams.
How many cups are in 120 grams of almond flour?

Not always. Almond meal is often coarser and may weigh a bit more per cup. Use the almond meal option when a recipe calls for meal instead of fine blanched almond flour.
Can I swap almond flour for all-purpose flour cup for cup?
Usually no. Almond flour has no gluten and has a different fat and moisture balance, so recipes may need different binders, eggs, or leavening.
