Matcha Financiers with Raspberries

Financiers are small French-style cakes that pair perfectly with tea or coffee—and this matcha version adds a fresh, elegant twist. If you’re looking for a dessert that feels light yet refined, this recipe is for you.

The sweetness of almond works beautifully with the subtle aroma of our organic ceremonial matcha, while raspberries bring a bright, tangy note. Whether for an afternoon treat or a special dessert, these matcha & raspberry financiers are guaranteed to delight.

Prep time:

10 minutes prep, 15 minutes baking

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 90 g ground almonds
• 150 g icing sugar
• 1/2 vanilla pod
• 60 g flour
• 4 egg whites
• 100 g melted butter (brown butter)
• 2 g of organic ceremonial matcha
• 125 g fresh raspberries (or diced pears if you prefer)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a pan, melt the butter and cook it until it turns into brown butter (nutty and fragrant).
3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, ground almonds, icing sugar, a pinch of salt, and the scraped vanilla seeds.
4. Make a well and add the egg whites gradually, mixing from the outside in until smooth.
5. Add the warm brown butter and mix again.
6. Pour the batter into moulds, then place raspberries on top.
7. You can also lightly crush the raspberries and fold them into the batter before filling the moulds.
8. Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden. Unmould onto a rack to cool.

Tip:

For extra crunch, sprinkle sliced almonds on top before baking—this adds a lovely contrast in texture and even more flavour.

Nutritional value:

These financiers provide protein from egg whites and ground almonds. Matcha adds antioxidants, while raspberries bring fibre and vitamins—a treat that’s both indulgent and nourishing.

When to enjoy them?

Perfect for an afternoon snack or as a dessert after a light meal. They also pair beautifully with tea or coffee for a cosy moment.
