Yupik Hazelnut Meal (2.2 lb) — Raw Unsalted Hazelnut Flour, Gluten-Free Vegan, Oil-Free Baking Powder

Yupik Hazelnut Meal is a finely ground, unsalted raw hazelnut flour that adds a naturally sweet, nutty flavor and texture to baking and cooking without added oils or salt.

Made from whole filberts that are unroasted and unsalted, this 2.2 lb (35.2 oz) bag delivers pure hazelnut nutrition in a versatile, oil-free powder. The meal is lightly grainy and mildly sweet, designed to boost flavor and richness in cakes, cookies, pancakes, and savory recipes while remaining gluten-free, vegan, and kosher. Because it contains no added sugar, salt, or oils, Yupik Hazelnut Meal mixes smoothly with flours, batters, and crusts to enhance texture and aroma.

How do I use Yupik Hazelnut Meal in everyday baking?

Substitute hazelnut meal for up to 25% of the wheat flour in many recipes to introduce nutty flavor and tender crumb. It works especially well in muffins, quick breads, brownies, and cookie recipes where a slightly grainy, buttery texture is welcome. For best results, combine with an all-purpose or gluten-free flour blend and adjust liquid slightly if the batter feels dense.

• Replace up to 25% of flour in cakes, muffins, and pancakes
• Fold into cookie doughs for richer taste and texture
• Use in tart crusts for a nut-forward shortbread base
• Combine with cocoa powder for chocolate-hazelnut recipes

Will the meal affect baking structure or moisture?

Hazelnut meal lacks gluten, so it won’t provide structure the way wheat flour does; using it partially preserves rise and crumb while adding moistness. When replacing part of the flour, you may need a slight increase in binding (egg, flax egg, or xanthan gum for gluten-free) to maintain structure. Because the meal is oil-free and unroasted, it won’t release extra fat during baking but will contribute a tender, crumbly finish.

• Does not add gluten — use as a partial flour substitute
• Add a binder for gluten-free or delicate batters
• Expect a tender, slightly grainy crumb and moist texture
• No extra oil released during baking from this raw meal

What nutritional or ingredient considerations should I know?

Yupik Hazelnut Meal is simply ground hazelnuts with no added salt, sugar, or oil, making it suitable for clean-label recipes and special diets. It supplies protein, fiber, and iron naturally found in nuts, and is vegan and kosher certified. Because it’s raw and unroasted, it retains a light, fresh nut flavor and should be stored properly to preserve freshness.

• No added salt, sugar, oil, or preservatives
• Good source of protein, fiber, and iron
• Vegan, gluten-free, and kosher-friendly ingredient
• Raw, unroasted consistency with mild sweetness

How should I store and handle the hazelnut meal?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain aroma and prevent rancidity; refrigeration or freezing extends shelf life after opening. Use within a reasonable period for best flavor, and always reseal or transfer to an airtight container to avoid moisture and odors. For baking, let refrigerated meal come to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation.

• Store sealed in a cool, dry pantry or refrigerator
• Transfer to an airtight container after opening
• Freeze for long-term storage and thaw before use
• Keep away from direct heat and strong odors

Who is this for? Home bakers, pastry pros, and cooks looking to introduce a naturally sweet, nutty element to their recipes will appreciate Yupik Hazelnut Meal. It’s a smart choice for people following gluten-free, vegan, or clean-label diets who want a simple, oil-free nut flour to enrich desserts, crusts, and savory dishes. If you want to add hazelnut flavor and tender texture without added ingredients, this raw, unsalted meal is an easy pantry staple.
