Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 60 grams Erythritol (or any keto-friendly sugar substitute)
- 80 grams Butter
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 30 grams Almonds (sliced, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a financier or muffin pan with butter or a non-stick spray.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently melt the butter until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. This is known as brown butter or 'beurre noisette'. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, and baking powder. Mix until ingredients are well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are foamy but not stiff. You do not need to beat them to peaks.
Add the almond flour mixture to the egg whites along with the cooled brown butter and vanilla extract. Gently fold the ingredients together until you have a smooth batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared financier or muffin pan, filling each mold or cup about three-quarters full.
Top each financier with a few slices of almond.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the financiers cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Keto Classic Financier as a delightful low-carb treat!
