Pistachio flour provides a nutty flavor and lovely green color in cakes, cookies, and other baked goods and desserts. Making it from scratch is easier than you’d think: all you need are fresh pistachios (and a little bit of time and patience).

Pistachio flour is basically just very finely ground pistachio nuts (sometimes it’s called pistachio meal). You can use pistachio flour in baked goods the same way you would almond flour (and can easily substitute it 1:1 in any recipe that calls for almond flour, like amaretti cookies or macarons).

I’ve shared more than one recipe that uses pistachio flour, and up until now I’ve always just bought it.

But the thing is, store-bought pistachio flour, despite being a rather pricey ingredient, is frankly, just not very pretty, usually a yellowish green sort of color that doesn’t exactly show up well in baked goods.

Making pistachio flour yourself allows you to source the freshest, highest quality nuts you can find (fresher nuts are going to be greener no matter what kind they are, not to mention have a brighter, fresher pistachio flavor).
