Recipe
Ingredients
- 120g almond meal
- 60g buckwheat flour
- 1½ tsp ground star anise
- Small pinch salt
- 150g coconut sugar
- 150g egg whites (from approx. 4 eggs)
- 100g ghee, melted
- Zest 1 lemon
- ½ cup raspberries, fresh or frozen, halved
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
- Sift first four ingredients together into bowl.
- Add coconut sugar to blender and blitz to make fine powder. Add coconut sugar to dry mix and stir to combine.
- In separate bowl, whisk egg whites for a few secs to froth them up a little and add to mix.
- Add ghee (as long as it’s cool or you will cook the eggs) and lemon zest and mix to combine.
- Divide mixture into greased muffin tray, or into patty pans, filling each to around two-thirds the way up the side. Place 3 or 4 halved raspberries into each friand.
- Bake for 18–20 mins or until golden and skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool for 10 mins in tin before transferring to rack to cool completely. These are best eaten the day of baking but will keep for 3–4 days.
