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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a financier or small muffin pan.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy, but not stiff.

Step 5

Gently fold the egg whites into the dry mixture until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the browned butter and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well mixed.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared molds, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of each financier.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.
