Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or silicone financier molds.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy but not stiff, then add them to the almond flour mixture.
Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and melted coconut oil to the mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared molds, filling each about 2/3 full.
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.
Allow the financiers to cool in the molds for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
