Reinvent your financiers with our easy matcha financiers recipe!
These moist little cakes combine the flavour of classic financiers with the unique richness of Japanese matcha.
Matcha tea powder lends a slightly bitter, herbal touch to every bite, creating a subtle, refined taste experience.
With their verdant color and tender texture, these matcha financiers are a modern, delicious variation on a classic French pastry.

Recipe notes
Be careful when choosing matcha, as many are artificially colored. Matcha is an expensive product, as its production is complex and costly, but you only need a small quantity. So take a small box.
You can replace the almond powder with hazelnut powder.
