Elevate your tea-time treats with this irresistible Dairy-Free Classic Financier recipe—an elegant twist on the traditional French pastry that’s completely free from dairy! Crafted with almond flour for a nutty, aromatic base, these petite golden cakes are delicately sweetened with powdered sugar and enriched by the silkiness of egg whites. A dash of vanilla and a neutral-flavored oil seamlessly replace butter, offering a soft, moist crumb that melts in your mouth. Ready in just 35 minutes, these financiers are quick to prepare yet sophisticated enough to impress, making them the perfect choice for gluten-sensitive guests or those seeking indulgence without dairy. Serve them warm or at room temperature with a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream or a fruity jam for an elegant pairing. These little beauties are ideal for special occasions, brunch spreads, or mid-afternoon cravings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a financier mold or a muffin tin with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour, powdered sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy, but not stiff.
Add the vanilla extract and gradually whisk in the neutral-flavored oil until well combined.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the financiers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the financiers to cool in the molds for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These financiers are delicious on their own or paired with jam or a hint of dairy-free whipped cream.
