Almond financiers
Moist little French cakes with brown butter and ground almonds.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, or coconut oil (115 g / 4 oz)
- 1 cup almond flour (100 g / 3½ oz)
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar (40 g / 1½ oz) — no-added-sugar version: ½ cup powdered erythritol (65 g)
- ¼ cup rice flour (37.5 g / 1¼ oz)
- 3 egg whites (90 g / 3¼ oz)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (4 g)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method

- Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and grease financier or mini muffin molds well.
