Pistachio and Cardamom Financiers

This post contains affiliate links.

Financiers are probably one of the easiest desserts you can make. Traditionally financiers are made with ground almonds and brown butter. The best part is that you can use just about any nut flour for them! These Pistachio and Cardamom Financiers are made with finely ground pistachios with a touch of cardamom. They’re known for having a rich dense texture that is somewhere between a cookie and cake. Normally they’re made in rectangular molds, where they look like gold bricks, thus the name financiers!

I used a well-greased cupcake pan for the Pistachio and Cardamom Financiers. This recipe makes about 12 financiers in a large cupcake pan. Feel free to mix and match the flours and spices. Some other combinations to try:

pecan and cinnamon
almond and anise
pistachio and lemon zest
walnut and orange zest
almond and rose water (instead of vanilla)

For the citrus zest, just rub it into the sugar before adding the nut flours in and omit the cardamom.
