Raspberry Friands

Serves: 12

INGREDIENTS

200g unsalted butter

225g icing sugar

75g plain flour

150g FreshLife Almond Flour

½ tsp almond extract 6 egg whites

Garnish

150g raspberries

2 tbsp FreshLife Sliced Almonds

METHOD

  • Preheat the oven to 180C

    Gather a 12-cavity muffin tin. Cut 12 thin strips of baking paper, place these into the muffin holes. The paper trips will act as a handle to easily remove the friends from the muffin tin.

  • Melt the butter in the microwave or in a pot on the stove, set aside to cool.

  • Shift the icing sugar and flour into a bowl, add the FreshLife almond flour. In another bowl add the egg whites and vanilla essence, beat the eggs till just foamy, it’s not necessary to reach soft peaks.

  • Pour the foamy egg whites & cooled melted butter into the flour mixture. Using a spatula, fold through the egg whites and melted butter into the flour.

  • Divide the mixture between the muffin tin. Add 3-4 raspberries on top of each friand and gently push down into the mixture. Sprinkle the FreshLife sliced almonds on top.

  • If using frozen raspberries, place the raspberries on a plate lined with kitchen paper to defrost slightly.

  • Place the tray into a preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven & set-aside to cool for a few minutes. Using the handles to pull out the friands from the muffin tray. Dust with icing sugar.
