Keto Almond Financiers

Do you need “just a little something sweet”? This is your recipe. This Keto French recipe for almond financiers is the perfect ‘something sweet’ to enjoy at the end of your day as a treat or at the start of your day with a little coffee on the side. Despite being a French recipe, the bite-sized cakes are very simple to make. Just a few ingredients go into a mixer, put the batter in your molds, and bake the cakes! The cakes should be moist and spongy in the centers but have slightly-crisp edges from the sweetener inside.

What is a Keto financier?

French financiers are really simple little tea cakes. They’re usually flavored with almonds and aren’t meant to be overflowing with different tastes. A Keto financier is very similar to the traditional French recipe, but just a couple of small changes are made. Wheat flour is substituted with almond flour and sugar is substituted with Keto-friendly sweeteners. The cake should be moist with a slight sugar crust around the edges.

Other flavors to try

Although most financiers are almond-flavored, you could increase that taste with a drop of almond extract in your batter. Other extract flavors you might want to try are lemon extract or butter extract. Again, you don’t want these cakes to taste too eccentric. Choose a flavor that would complement a cup of Keto butter coffee as a pairing.

Storage tips

Wait for the cakes to cool completely before storing them in your refrigerator. They may keep best if wrapped in plastic wrap on a plate. Since these almond cakes are bite-sized, they’ll go stale a little quicker than a thick slice of cake might. Try not to keep the tea cakes longer than 48 hours before they are exposed to too much air.
