Financiers Recipe – this delicate french almond cake is flavored with browned butter and is super easy to make. The perfect dessert to enjoy with tea. 

I participated in Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers and received The Republic of Tea products to facilitate my review.

Easy French Financiers Recipe

Leave it to the French to create and concoct the best pastries ever. This delicious French Financiers Recipe has a lot of flavor packed into a two-bite treat.

Financiers have a soft pillow-like texture with a fragrant aroma and a soft delicate flavor that is so addicting. I added a raspberry in the middle to give out a hint of sweetness and tanginess.

You can enjoy these almond cakes as a dessert, breakfast, and tea and coffee. Originally, Financiers have a rectangular shape similar to gold bars. Maybe that’s how they got their name?

I decided to make them in my mini muffin pan since it’s something that most of you may already have in the kitchen.

This Financiers Recipe can be adapted to suit your taste, add ground pistachios, replace the almond flour with hazelnut flour or even change the raspberry and add apricots, blueberries, or omit the fruit entirely. Therefore, it’s a blank canvas that is perfect for recipe experimenting.

The secret behind the flavor is the use of brown butter. When you cook the butter in the burner, it starts to turn brown and becomes super aromatic. The French call it “Beurre noisette” or hazelnut butter because it has a very distinctive nutty smell when cooking.

Furthermore, the reason why I decided to make my yummy Financiers was to pair it with the Republic of Tea new SuperGreen Tea Collection. This line of teas combine organic matcha, green tea leaves and other herbs in a delicious drink that can be enjoyed either hot or cold.
