Almond flour: cups to grams
Almond flour (ground blanched almonds) is light, about 96 g per cup, and very compressible: packed it reaches 120 g. It contains no gluten and half its weight is fat, so it cannot replace wheat flour by volume or by weight without changing the recipe.
1 cup almond flour = 96 g · 1 tbsp = 6 g · 100 g = 1.04 cups
Based on 96 g per US cup of almond flour, spooned and levelled. Real-world cups vary by about ±10 % for powders.
How to measure almond flour
Spoon lightly into the cup, do not pack. Weighing is strongly recommended for macarons and financiers, where the almond-to-sugar ratio decides the texture.
Weight is the only measure that does not depend on the container or on how the ingredient was filled. The figure of 96 g per US cup comes from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart; other charts differ by a few percent, which is within the spread between two cooks filling the same cup.
