Almond extract is going to be the same process as hazelnut but instead try grinding the almonds to get as much flavor out of them as possible. Some of the best baking recipes call for almond extract and you’ll love making them when you have your own. Some good recipes are oatmeal, rice pudding, french toast, and baked apples. For the oatmeal just sprinkle in a bit of the extract on top of whatever else you top it with. Rice pudding is a delicious cinnamon pudding that gets even better with a hint of homemade almond extract.

Now for french toast you’ll have everyone asking what it is that you put in your recipe because it’s just a hint of something extra. Instead of normal vanilla extract use your almond extract to change it up. And finally, if you’re into a little baked apple deliciousness than start out by coring four apples and fill them with a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, oats, almond extract, and butter and bake them at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Top with some ice cream and you’ve got a warm, wonderful dessert.
