Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 110 grams Butter
- 100 grams Almond Flour
- 50 grams Granulated Erythritol
- 3 large Egg Whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 20 grams Almond Slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a financier mold or a muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking it until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are just frothy, but not stiff.
Add the browned butter and vanilla extract to the almond flour mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Fold in the whisked egg whites until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared financier mold or muffin tin, filling each one about two-thirds full.
Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of each financier for an added layer of texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges 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 a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the financiers either warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
