Peach Financiers
56k
Chef John
"There are many different techniques used for making financiers but, as usual, I've chosen the easiest one. This recipe works beautifully with pretty much any summer fruit like berries or other stone fruit. Remember, the fruit is really just a garnish so don't use too much. These little cakes are rich, buttery, and moist."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously butter a 12-muffin mini-muffin tin. Add a pinch of flour to each cup; shake to coat bottoms.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. The melted butter will get foamy. Keep pan moving to prevent burning, but continue toasting butter until it turns golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Whisk egg whites and sugar together in a large bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves and egg whites get thick and foamy, 2 or 3 minutes. Mix in almond meal, flour, vanilla, and salt. Whisk in browned butter.
- Fill muffin cups almost to the cop. Tap pan to eliminate any air bubbles.
- Bake 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and top financiers with small pieces of peach. Transfer pan back to oven. Continue baking until browned, 10 to 12 more minutes.
- Let cool at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Super moist, not too sweet and have great aroma! They seem to be the best muffins I have ever tried in my entire life! I used my Cuisine processor to grind almonds as I did not have almond meal ...

These are so good! I didn't think they would be with the small amount of fruit involved, but it's a Chef John recipe, and I've never made anything bad from him. I had homemade almond paste on ...

Followed recipe exactly. I didn't have mini muffin tins, but I did have silicone poop emoji molds (I have a 7 year old son- enough said). The silicone mold worked just fine and it turned out so ...

Thanks to Chef John. Another 10 star dessert, and it is low carb! Note, I have to double the ingredients (except keep butter same) to make 12 muffin cups.
