Ingredients

• 2/3 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a financier mold or muffin tin.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and all-purpose flour.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg whites, stirring until well combined.
5. Slowly pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth and glossy.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the molds, filling each one about 2/3 full. Press a few slices of peach into each mold, slightly submerging them into the batter.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the financiers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the financiers to cool in the mold for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dust the cooled financiers with powdered sugar before serving.
