If using almond flour instead, use 1 cup?
Hi Eva,
1 cup of almonds will produce 1.5 cups of almond flour, so add another quarter cup to your measurements :).
Using almond flour to begin with may give this recipe a finer texture than desired, but let us know how it goes.
Instead of adding prepackaged no salt seasoning, I experiment with a variety of spices. Made my last batch with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Delicious!!
Too bad it has nuts. There’s are but allergies in our home.
Could you try roasted sunflower seeds instead?
Could coconut flour be substituted for the almond flour and if so, how much would you need?
How would I adjust this recipe if I chose to use cashew butter instead?
We don’t recommend using a nut butter, because the texture will be too wet. You’re going for a powdery texture here. You can use raw cashews, though. —Liz Turner, FOK editor in chief
