I highly recommend using a high-speed blender and processing them in batches.
Do not over process the almonds, she says.
If you do over-process the almonds, she says theyll start to take on an almond butter-like texture.
Still yummy, but not what youre trying to make here.
She also says to be mindful of how much flour a recipe calls for too.

The recipe calls for a blend of almond flour and coconut flour.
Its also completely vegan, and calls forflaxseed eggsin place of traditional eggs.
Literally every ingredient in this Paleo bread recipe is full of nutrients.
A few highlights: eggs, ghee, andprobiotic-rich miso.
