Surely you mean almond butter in the recipe list. Almond paste has added sugar == of course not as much as the next step towards diabetes for ground almonds…marzipan!

Almond paste does seem to have a lot of carbs…maybe that’s why I haven’t heard of it.

it depends on the brand
mine is pure almonds.

What’s the difference between the paste, meal, and flour?

I see some terms being used interchangeably while others argue against that practice.
This case is no exception.

Actually I should have mentioned I mean full fat finely ground almonds.
Grind it any finer and the end product sticks together or is even an oily paste.
However, whether or not it is made of blanched almonds or not, should not matter for this particular recipe.

That oily paste is also used in this recipe, but you could also turn it into marzipan.

What I never use is de-oiled flour. Not only is this a by-product from oil production and might thus have been overheated, but also why would we use such a product in a diet that should be high in … fat.
