12 Easy Almond Pulp Recipes (Sweet & Savory) (1)

Do you enjoy homemade almond milk, but aren’t sure what to do with the leftover pulp? This round up is for you!

Two Ways to Use Almond Pulp

Make the almond pulp into almond meal by drying it in the oven and using it in baking recipes. We’ve found that when using almond meal made from leftover pulp in recipes that call for traditional almond meal, it is sometimes helpful to compensate with additional water, oil, or fat. That’s because some of the fat from the almonds is lost in the process of making the almond milk and needs to be added back into baked goods for proper texture.
Use the almond pulp raw: You can also use almond pulp raw (as you’ll see in the brownie bites below!). It’s great for recipes like energy bites that call for nuts or nut meal, or adding to things like granola in place of some of the oats or nuts.

Now that you know the two methods for using almond pulp, put these 12 recipes to use that include almond meal as an ingredient – a mix of both savory and sweet!

When I get too behind on using my almond I fling it out the door for the birds, especially in winter time when food is more scarce. It is working nicely they leave my garden grapes, berries, etc, alone not being hungry, but still eat any bugs they find. I’m really enjoying this relationship with the birds. I also dehydrate my almond milk to have shelf stable supply, so I also use the pulp in biscottis and daily smoothies. I make smoothies one once a week enough for the week and refrigerate the extras. Once I have enough dehydrated milk put up I probably won’t use make enough to use in biscottis. Which will be a shame because I’ve gotten used to having them now.

I tried the almond brownie balls. I put some coconut oil in it because I had too much almond pulp and it was too dry to make it into balls.
The recipe is amazing. We love it. This is my first gluten free +vegan dessert.
Thank you!

I make my almond milk – wondering about using the left over almond pulp in place of crackers or bread crumbs in meatballs. .
what would be the ratio – almond pulp to replace bread crumbs?

  That could work! You’d likely need to use a bit more of it. We’d suggest drying it first though or it probably won’t have the same effect.

Hi there, you have this amazing almond pancake recipe that I use a lot https://minimalistbaker.com/blender-banana-pancakes-gluten-free/. I’ve made almond milk for the first time and am left with the pulp. Do you have any guidance or idea of how to use the raw pulp (without drying) in that recipe instead of almond meal? I’d make lots of pancakes, they are so delicious. Thank you!

  Hi Lola, we think they will turn out too gummy in the middle, but maybe try omitting the dairy-free milk and only add enough if it seems too thick? Let us know if you try it!

    I thought the same! Thanks for your reply. Using 1/4 of the plant milk quantity in the recipe and replacing ground almond with almond pulp worked! I hope to try your other recipes from this series, thank you for thinking of and sharing what to do with the pulp!

Can I replace the almond pulp for oat pulp in these recipes? I would like to make something else with the leftover oat pulp other than smoothies and overnight oats. I love your oat milk recipe hence all the oat pulp.

  Hi Natalie, That should would work well! Just know oat pulp will have a bit less fat, so you may need to compensate with additional oil or nut butter. Hope that helps!

Any comment/idea if it is better to store almond pulp without drying (wet, as is after milk extraction) and dehydrate prior to using in recipe or should it be dehydrated before freezer storage if not using it right away? Looking forward to trying these recipes.

If you make leftover almond pulp into almond meal, can you store the dried meal in a jar?

  Yes! As long as it’s completely dried it can last in your pantry for several months in our experience (although, it’s always best when fresh.)

Would love an updated list of recipes with just the use of nut pulp – without having to convert it into meal or flour. I live in an area where pre-made nut milks are unavailable so only make my own so always left with an excess of pulp and don’t have much time in the home to spend making the meal or flours. MUCH APPRECIATED!

  I second the request for recipes that use almond pulp. I have so much leftover almond pulp each week that I hate to throw away, but no time to turn it into almond meal before using it in a recipe. Thank you!

    I have found that l can sub it in for part of the oats when i make granola; so if i have a cup of pulp from making milk and i need 4 cups rolled oats, i’ll instead use 3 cups rolled oats + 1 cup almond pulp. I have to leave it in the oven longer but it works out!
