Safety Information
How to Serve Almond Flour to a 6–9 Months Old
Serving Instructions
Start with a very small quantity, about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2–5 g) mixed into other foods, once nut allergens have been cleared with your pediatrician. Almond flour can be stirred into warm porridge or used in homemade pancakes or muffins, ensuring the overall meal is soft and moist for easy swallowing. Serve alongside a source of iron (such as fortified baby cereal or pureed meat) and vitamin C-rich fruits to support absorption. Always introduce new allergens one at a time and wait 2–3 days before offering another new food.

How to Serve Almond Flour to a 9–18 Months Old
Serving Instructions
Increase to 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 g) as part of pancakes, muffins, or porridge. Serve with foods from multiple food groups; for instance, pair with mashed sweet potatoes, berries, or yogurt. Almond flour adds healthy fats and gentle texture. Continue to offer alongside iron-rich sources and vitamin C. Monitor for signs of tolerance. Avoid using almond flour in dry or crumbly textures that can be harder to manage.

How to Serve Almond Flour to a 18+ Months Old
Serving Instructions
Offer up to 1 tablespoon (10–15 g) in a variety of preparations, such as baked goods, pancakes, or as a thickener for porridge and smoothies. Almond flour can be a nutritious addition to meals that also include fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. Continue to rotate food groups for balance. While toddlers can handle more textures, continue to avoid very dry or crunchy items with almond flour. Watch for any signs of nut allergy as you introduce new forms.

When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Every child is different, and your pediatrician knows your baby best. If your baby has known allergies, was born prematurely, or has any feeding difficulties, consult your doctor before introducing new foods. If you ever observe signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical care immediately.
Important Safety Disclaimer
Every child develops chewing and swallowing skills at their own pace. The preparation methods shown are general guidelines; you must always evaluate your individual child's ability before serving. By offering this food, you agree to the following:
- Choking & Preparation: All foods can pose a choking hazard. You are strictly responsible for modifying food sizes and textures to match your child's skills. Always physically inspect this food for hidden hazards (e.g., bones, pits, seeds, splinters, or tough skins) before serving.
- Food Handling: Ensure all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness. Never serve raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs to an infant.
- Allergens: Introduce any new food one at a time. Observe your child closely for signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing) and seek emergency medical care immediately if symptoms occur.
- Strict Supervision: 100% active, arm's-length adult supervision is required at all times while your child is eating or interacting with food.
