Measuring 85g of Blanched Almond Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of blanched almond flour weighs 96g when measured spooned & leveled, 85 Grams (85g) translates to 0.89 US cups (¾ cup + 2 tbsp + ½ tsp). By contrast, using the lightly packed measure (112g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 85g occupies ¾ cup (0.76 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + ½ tsp (14.17 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Almond flour contains natural oils that cause clumping; break up clusters with a wire whisk or sieve before measuring.
