Almond and Raspberry friands - Real Recipes from Mums

you can really use any type of berry with this and I'd just say be careful with the frozen types because when they start to thaw out you get more liquid in the mix and if its too runny it won't cook well.

Ingredients (serves 12)

1 cup Self Raising Flour
120g Caster Sugar
100g recuded fat spread (or butter)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup almond meal
1 punnet raspberries or 1 cup frozen raspberries

Method

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Spray a 12 - hole friand tin or muffin tin with cooking spray.
Cream sugar and reduced fat spread till pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add vanilla essence.
Fold in sifted flour and almond meal with a spatula and carefully fold in the raspberries.
Spoon into prepared friand tins and bake for 15-18 minutes till golden brown and firm to touch.

I have several boxes of berries in my freezer so might give these a shot.

Lovely, but I’m not a huge fan of the raspberry seeds. Bet they are delish though

Just made these! Delicious! I’ve got bags and bags of almond meal so I’m always on the lookout for recipes using it. I didn’t have fresh or frozen raspberries so I used raspberry preserve and swirled it through. I also only used 50g of low gi sugar which was perfect for us.

These sound great – but do they last a while? Only 2 people in this household – would they last 6 days or more?

this sounds good, have usually seen these made with just the egg whites only and more almond meal
