Friands are small, almond-based cakes that originate from French cuisine but have gained popularity in Australia and New Zealand. Typically made with ground almonds, egg whites, powdered sugar, butter, and a small amount of flour, they sometimes include added flavors like fruit, nuts, or chocolate. Friands are naturally gluten-free when made with almond flour, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. Their high almond content provides a source of healthy fats, vitamin E, and protein. However, friands are often considered indulgent due to their high sugar and butter content, which contributes to their rich texture and sweetness. While delicious and a great treat for special occasions, moderation is key if prioritizing nutrition. With their delicate, moist consistency and customizable nature, friands are a delightful entry in the realm of baked goods that bridge simplicity and sophistication.
