Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375ºF and liberally grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with baking spray.

Step 2

To brown the butter, in a small skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is fully melted watch carefully and stir occasionally so butter doesn't burn. First the butter will foam, then the white milk solids will start to settle at the bottom. Watch for the milk solids to turn brown. Once that happens, immediately remove from heat. Pour browned butter into a bowl so it doesn't cook more and burn from residual heat of pan. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl whisk together the almond flour, sugar, flour, and salt. Stir in the egg whites, making sure there are no clumps of flour. Stir in the browned butter, mixing well.

Step 4

Distribute the batter into the prepared pan, filling up each tin about halfway. To do this quickly and evenly, use a small cookie scoop, which holds about 1 tablespoon dough.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle turbinado sugar on top then place sliced almonds, chopped chocolate, sliced fruit, or a berry gently on top. Do not press down because it will sink down as it bakes.

Step 6

Bake for 14 minutes, rotating pan halfway through, until the tops are golden brown. Run a small knife around the outside of each tin and invert onto a wire cooling rack. Turn cakes right side up and cool slightly before serving.
