Friands have to be one of my favourite sweets to indulge in and this recipe is really quick and easy to make. I make them in mini muffin tins 1) because I don't have a proper friand tin (shock horror) and 2) they are the perfect bite size treat.
If you don't have chocolate then simply leave it out. You can even replace the strawberries with other berries - fresh or frozen. Blueberries are awesome!!
If you are wondering what to do with the egg yolks, you can make a healthy home made mayonnaise, aioli or Nigella has a wonderful sponge recipe that uses just yolks no egg whites.
If you want a completely gluten free option, replace the plain flour with rice flour.
Ingredients
3 egg whites
90g of melted butter
1/2 cup almond flour
3/4 cup icing sugar
1/4 cup plain flour
100 g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
6 big strawberries cut into 24 pieces
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease two 12 hole mini muffin pans.
Place the egg whites in a bowl big enough to hold all the ingredients and beat roughly with a fork. Stir in all the remaining ingredients except the strawberries until nicely combined.
Spoon into the muffin pans and top each friand with a strawberry piece.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until friands are golden. Leave them in their pans to cool for 5 minutes before turning them on a cooling rack - trying to resist the urge to have one.
Makes 24
Happy living peeps!!!
