Recipe Notes

This is an extremely easy and fast recipe to make, and you would never guess it is without any dairy or gluten. 

Traditionally, financiers are cooked in a shallow rectangular mould, but this is hard to find here. I used a flexible silicone spherical mould, just sprayed with coconut oil, works perfectly for "mignardise" (petits fours).

Here, I have piped a dark chocolate/coconut Ganache (also gluten/dairy free)
