Muffin substitutes... mmmm.........
In Australia we have these little cakes called Friands (pronounced free-onds). The standard way of making them is with mostly almond meal as the base... I tried these using a few tablespoons of cocoa instead of the lime and they were lovely
LITTLE LIME FRIANDS
ingredients
6 egg whites
185g butter, melted
1 cup almond meal
1½ - 2 cups splenda
½ cup atkins bake mix
1 tablespoon finely grated lime rind
1 tablespoon lime juice
30 (60g) whole blanched almonds
Preheat oven to moderately hot (200°C). Grease 30 mini-muffin pan holes.
Place egg whites in a medium bowl; whisk lightly until combined. Add butter, almond meal, sifted icing sugar and flour then rind and juice. Whisk until just combined. Divide mixture among prepared pans; top with almonds.
Bake in a moderately hot oven for about 15 minutes. Turn onto wire racks to cool, right way up.
Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with a little extra sifted icing sugar.
Suitable to freeze.
Butter suitable to microwave.
Enjoy!!!
