Chestnut Pecan Financiers (Gluten Free), Fusion

Financiers are perfect little treats to accompany a cup of tea or a gourmet coffee.

Ideal for snacks or the end of a meal, this revisited financier is a real invitation to indulge in indulgence.

Preparation time 15 mins

Cooking time 15 mins

Total time 30 mins

Cooking method: traditional

Difficulty: beginner

Ingredients

100 g of almond powder
120 g coconut sugar (you can use icing sugar but the texture and taste will be different)
40 g of a mixture of rice and chestnut flour
100 g of browned butter
3 egg whites
60 g pecans (roughly chopped)
A few whole pecans for decoration

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (th. 6) and lightly grease your financier molds if necessary. I used a mini financier silicone mold; I made 27.
2
Make the browned butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty scent. Filter to remove residue and leave to cool.
3
Prepare the dough: Mix the almond powder, coconut sugar and rice/chestnut flour in a large salad bowl. Add the egg whites, lightly beaten with a fork, until smooth. Add the warmed brown butter and mix well.
4
Add the pecans: Incorporate the chopped pecans into the dough and mix gently to distribute them evenly.
5
Fill the molds: Pour the batter into the molds, filling them three-quarters full. Place a whole pecan on top of each financier for decoration.
6
Cooking: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the financiers are lightly browned around the edges.
7
Let cool before unmolding.

Note

The financiers keep very well in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze them to enjoy later.
