One cup of almond flour weighs about 96 grams (just under 3½ ounces), a fifth lighter than a cup of all-purpose flour. Almond flour also behaves nothing like wheat flour, so gluten-free and low-carb recipes that list grams are far more reliable than cup-for-cup swaps.

Almond flour vs. almond meal
Almond flour is usually made from blanched (skinless) almonds ground very fine. Almond meal is typically ground from whole almonds with the skins on and has a coarser texture. King Arthur Baking's chart lists almond meal at about 84 g per cup, lighter than almond flour's 96 g.
The two can often stand in for each other in rustic recipes like crumb toppings and some cookies, but almond flour gives smoother, more delicate results in cakes and macarons.
Tips for measuring almond flour
- Break up lumps with a whisk or your fingers before measuring, then spoon it in lightly. Almond flour compresses easily, and pressing it down packs extra into the cup.
- Almond flour has no gluten, so it can't replace wheat flour one-for-one in yeast breads or most cakes. Use recipes developed for it, or blends made for gluten-free baking.
- Its high fat content means almond flour browns faster than wheat flour. Many almond-flour recipes bake at a slightly lower temperature or tent the top with foil.
- Store almond flour in the refrigerator or freezer to keep its oils from going stale, and let it come to room temperature before baking.
Frequently asked questions
Is almond flour lighter than regular flour?
Per cup, yes: about 96 g versus 120 g for all-purpose flour. Because it's made from nuts, it's much higher in fat and protein and contains no gluten, so it also absorbs liquid and holds structure differently.
How many grams are in 1/2 cup of almond flour?
Half a cup of almond flour weighs about 48 grams (1.7 ounces).
How many cups is 100 grams of almond flour?
100 g of almond flour is about 1.04 US cups, which you can measure as 1 cup + 2 tsp.
How many grams are in a tablespoon of almond flour?
One tablespoon weighs about 6 g, and one teaspoon about 2 g.

Sources and method
The cup weight on this page comes from King Arthur Baking's Ingredient Weight Chart, which lists almond flour as 1 cup = 3 3/8 oz = 96 g. All other figures are calculated from that weight using a US customary cup (236.6 mL), 16 tablespoons per cup and 3 teaspoons per tablespoon. Using a 250 mL metric cup? Multiply the grams by about 1.06. Brand, humidity and measuring technique can shift real-world weights by a few percent, so weigh when precision matters.
