Almond Flour: Cups to Grams

One US cup (240 ml) of almond flour weighs 96 grams; half a cup weighs 48 grams. A quarter cup is 24 grams, a tablespoon is 6 grams and a teaspoon is 2 grams. A cup measures volume, not weight, so these numbers are for almond flour only: a cup of honey weighs 340 grams.

Ounces here are ounces of weight (1 oz = 28.35 g), not fluid ounces. One US cup is 8 fluid ounces of volume whatever is in it, but what it weighs in ounces depends on the ingredient: a cup of almond flour weighs about 3.39 oz. Why these two are not the same. Decimals for thirds are rounded (1/3 cup is 0.333 cups), and each linked amount opens a page comparing every ingredient at that measure.

About measuring almond flour

Almond flour is finely ground blanched almonds, and because the nut particles are coarser than wheat flour it is light, giving about 96 grams per US cup. It behaves very differently from wheat flour: it has no gluten, holds more fat and browns faster, so recipes are usually built specifically around it. Since a cup varies with how finely the almonds are ground and how firmly you pack it, weighing is the reliable way to get consistent macarons and cakes.

Almond flour has no gluten and lots of fat, so weigh it and follow recipes built around it.

How many grams is a cup of almond flour?

One US cup (240 ml) of almond flour weighs about 96 grams. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, that figure is specific to almond flour and does not transfer to any other ingredient: the same cup holds 125 grams of all-purpose flour and 340 grams of honey.

  • 1/4 cup of almond flour is about 24 grams
  • 1/3 cup of almond flour is about 32 grams
  • 1/2 cup of almond flour is about 48 grams
  • 2/3 cup of almond flour is about 64 grams
  • 3/4 cup of almond flour is about 72 grams
  • 1 1/2 cups of almond flour is about 144 grams
  • 2 cups of almond flour is about 192 grams
  • 3 cups of almond flour is about 288 grams

Working the other way round, 100 grams of almond flour is about 1.04 cups, and 500 grams is about 5.21 cups.

Does it matter which cup my recipe means?

It does, though less than the ingredient itself. This page uses the US legal cup of 240 ml. An Australian metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of almond flour comes to about 100 grams, and the old British imperial cup of 284.1 ml holds about 114 grams. See cup sizes by country for every standard side by side.

Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 1 cup of almond flour?

One US cup of almond flour is about 96 grams. The ground almonds are coarser and lighter than wheat flour for the same volume.

Can I swap almond flour for wheat flour?

Not directly. Almond flour has no gluten and more fat, so it does not behave like wheat flour. Use recipes designed for it and weigh for accuracy.

Is almond flour the same as almond meal?

Nearly. Almond meal is coarser and often includes the skins, so it packs a little denser, but both sit close to 96 grams per cup.

Where this figure comes from

We have not yet found a published reference that states a weight for a cup of almond flour. The 96 grams on this page follows the calibration the rest of the site is built on, with butter at 227 grams per cup, water at 240, all-purpose flour at 125 and granulated sugar at 200. Treat it as a good working figure rather than a cited one. If you have a better source, tell us and we will check it and credit you.

Published figures for the same ingredient vary between references anyway, because how an ingredient is packed changes what a cup of it weighs. Treat any cup figure as accurate to within a few percent, and weigh on a scale when a recipe is sensitive. Our full approach is on the methodology page.
