TOASTED ALMOND-COCONUT FINANCIERS
These simple, French-style cookie-cakes are usually baked in special rectangular molds to resemble little bars of gold. In her book "Paris Sweets" (Clarkson Potter, 2012), Dorie Greenspan makes the process easier by baking them in mini-muffin tins, and the method works beautifully. They bake up soft and chewy, into perfect two-bite-size treats. This recipe uses toasted almond flour, which deepens the flavor. A dip in melted bittersweet chocolate gives the financiers a polished look and balances out their sweetness. This recipe makes 12, but easily doubles for a crowd.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup mini-muffin tin.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, spread out the coconut and almond flour, side by side. Toast until both are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring halfway through and keeping a close watch at the end. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
- Use your fingertips to grind the coconut with the almond flour to break it down into small pieces. Add the sugar, flour and salt, and whisk to combine.
- Whisk in the egg whites and almond extract, then the melted butter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the greased cups. (A small cookie scoop makes easy work of this task.) Tap the pan on the countertop to smooth the tops.
- Bake until the cakes spring back when pressed gently in the center, 18 to 20 minutes. Pop them out of the tin, using a small offset spatula or knife to loosen the edges if needed, and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Melt the chocolate and oil together in a small bowl in short, 10-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate and oil over a double boiler on the stove.)
- Dip half of each financier in the chocolate and set on a rack until set, at least 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE-ALMOND BUTTER CUPS
Almond butter is a staple in my pantry and in my diet. It's high in protein, easy to tote around, and so, so good. Here, it serves as the primary ingredient in a perfect little bite-size dessert that is a much healthier take on our favorite name-brand treats.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your cups. Choose a chocolate that is rich and flavorful, and that has a high cocoa content.
- Temper the chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize the chocolate and prevent it from seizing up. This will make it easier to work with and will result in a smoother, more professional-looking finish.
- Use a variety of nuts and seeds: Don't be afraid to experiment with different nuts and seeds in your cups. Almonds, pecans, walnuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are all great options.
- Add in some dried fruit: Dried fruit can add a chewy texture and a burst of sweetness to your cups. Raisins, cranberries, and cherries are all popular choices.
- Get creative with your toppings: Once your cups are filled, you can top them with a variety of toppings, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even a drizzle of caramel.
Conclusion:
These almond chocolate coconut cups are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cups a try!
