Delicious Blueberry & Lemon Friands Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a friand or muffin tray.

    Use a non-stick spray for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, icing sugar, and plain flour.

    Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter texture.
  3. Whisk Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy but not stiff.

    Do not over-whisk to maintain moisture.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients gently, then add the melted butter, lemon zest, and juice.

    Fold carefully to keep the mixture airy.
  5. Add Blueberries

    Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

    Dredge frozen blueberries in flour to prevent sinking.
  6. Fill the Tray

    Spoon the mixture into the prepared tray, filling each mould about 3/4 full.

    Leave some space for rising.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and a skewer comes out clean.

    Check at 20 minutes to avoid over-baking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Serve warm or at room temperature.
