Peach Financiers

Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and browned
- 1 cup diced fresh peaches (about 2 medium peaches)
- Additional sliced peaches for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a financier or muffin pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered sugar, gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- In another bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until they are foamy (not too stiff). Then, gradually add them to the dry ingredients, mixing just until you have a smooth batter.
- Next, pour in the melted and browned butter and mix gently until everything is fully incorporated into a thick batter.
- Gently fold in the diced fresh peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared financier or muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, place a few slices of peach on top of each financier for added flair.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the financiers to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve your Peach Financiers warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the deliciousness!
