While we haven't done in-depth testing with hazelnut flour like we have with almond flour, hazelnuts and almonds have similar nutritional profiles and the flours are similar in texture. Hazelnut flour tested to be a bit less finely milled, so you might want to use it in recipes that call for almond meal. You should feel confident to add a small amount to yeast breads or replace 10-25% of the flour with hazelnut flour in other baked goods. Keep in mind you'll be changing the flavor profile quite a bit—hazelnuts are known a slightly bitter albeit buttery flavor so make sure you like the taste of hazelnuts first! :) Happy baking!
