Ingredients
- 120 grams almond flour
- 20 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 milliliters almond milk
- 85 grams vegan butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 30 grams sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a financier mold or a muffin tin with a bit of vegan butter.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter until it becomes a light brown color, creating a nutty aroma. This will take about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve to remove any dark bits. Let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 5
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three parts, stirring until just combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared mold or muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Sprinkle the top of each financier with sliced almonds for added texture and flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the mold for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve once fully cooled or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
