How to make Simple Raspberry Friands

Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare a 12 muffin tin with butter spray.

In a mixing bowl, mix together the almond meal, powdered sugar and all-purpose flour until well combined.

In a bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the butter and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture into the almond mixture and whisk until smooth.

Gently fold in the fresh raspberries.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (about ¾ full).

Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of each muffin.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the Raspberry Friands cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes, then remove and place them a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar and add sliced almonds before serving.
