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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a financier mold or a muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are just frothy, but not stiff.
Step 5
Add the browned butter and vanilla extract to the almond flour mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Step 6
Fold in the whisked egg whites until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Spoon the batter into the prepared financier mold or muffin tin, filling each one about two-thirds full.
Step 8
Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of each financier for an added layer of texture.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve the financiers either warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
