Berry Friands

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working full time at this gorgeous bakery, making all the little cakes and cookies, eclairs and tarts.

I’m absolutely loving every second, but when every day is jam packed full of baking, it’s a little harder than usual to get motivated to bake when I come home.

But last week, on a rare afternoon off, I found a spare moment to make these friands.

I was trialling out a recipe to make at the bakery, as I really wanted to have a new, fun, little cake option that could easily be made gluten free.

This was the first recipe I came across, and I am now in love with it!

The friand batter took all of 5 minutes to weigh up and mix, it smelt gorgeous while it was baking and the friands were so light and lovely (I’ll let you in on a little secret too – before I tried these, I didn’t even like friands)!

I now make them at the bakery and they’ve been doing great! I’ll be playing around with different flavour variations too, so stay tuned.

P.S. A blog post of mine was featured in GRAM magazine this month, and is the first piece I’ve ever had published in print. I’m so excited! Check it out online here.
