It's flour made from ground/blended almonds. Blanching is when you put the almonds in boiling water to remove the almond skin before you blend them. This makes for a very fine and smooth flour.

From what I read - the balanched almond flour is boiled to remove the skin and then the skinless almond is ground. Almond Meal on the other hand is ground whole almonds (including skin) so I'm not sure it is blanched at all - seems odd to put "Blanched Almond Meal" in the recipe. Generally you can substitute one for another and almond flour is more delicate of a texture since it doesn't include the skin.
