Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Butter
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 4 large Egg whites
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 30 grams Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a financier or small muffin pan.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until it turns golden brown, emitting a nutty aroma. This will take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy, but not stiff.
Gently fold the egg whites into the dry mixture until just combined.
Stir in the browned butter and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of each financier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the financiers cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
