    How to Prepare Financiers [Vegan]

    1. Blend the roasted hazelnuts, flour and sugar together in a small food processor to a fine powder.
    2. Add the powdered nut mixture to a large bowl with the golden syrup, ground almonds, baking powder, olive oil and plant-based milk and mix together with a whisk until a smooth batter forms.
    3. Spoon the batter into the mold, or scrape it into a piping (pastry) bag with a 7 mm (1/4 in) plain piping nozzle, to fill them up halfway. You can add 2–3 raspberries, blueberries or whatever you fancy, followed by a sprinkle of flaked almonds, if you like. Rest for 15 minutes before baking.
    4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C fan/gas 4) with an oven shelf in the middle of the oven. Have a metal or silicone bar mold handy.
    5. Bake for 12 minutes, or until nicely domed and with a deep golden color.
    6. Leave to cool in the molds for 10 minutes on a wire rack to allow air circulation, then pop them out and leave to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
