My first experiment that I'm sharing with you is a friand recipe. I've had a friand pan for a long time, but I've never got around to using it. With the little Vegan Carnivore (aka my little boy) asleep, I thought I'd try out a recipe I saw in a magazine, but modifying it so it's egg-free. The original recipe calls for 5 egg whites!
Apple and Strawberry Friands
Adapted from Apple & Blueberry Friands recipe, Winter Coles magazine
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup self-raising flour
- 4 heaped tsp "No Egg" with 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (approximately)
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 100g almond meal
- 1/3 cup oat milk
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup pie apple (no sugar), roughly chopped
- 1 cup strawberries
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (fan-forced). Lightly grease 10 holes of non-stick friand mould pan.
- Combine flours, icing sugar, almond meal and cinnamon. Add oat milk, oil, apple and strawberries and stir until just combined
- Mix No Egg with water until fairly stiff paste is formed. Add to mixture and add baking powder. Carefully fold into mixture.
- Spoon into prepared moulds and bake in oven for 25-30 minutes
- Sit friands for 10 mins before turning out onto a cooling tray and serve dusted with icing sugar.
Notes
- I used oat milk, but you can use soy milk.
- I used my stewed apples and fresh berries, but (defrosted) frozen berries would also work, you don't have to stick to these quantities, just make up a cup and a half of whatever fruit you like and it should be ok. (I certainly didn't stick to the original recipe!)
Edit: 26/6/11 - No Egg is used in a heaped measure; it's the equivalent of 6 egg whites.

This is great that you've created a blog like this, and I think it will be really useful for other mums (and also adults) who are catering for those with allergies.
I have coeliac disease, so I know how hard it is to find good recipes!
And may the Food Truck Race provide further inspiration:)
Living with food restrictions makes life a bit more difficult, doesn't it! I have a nice gluten-free muffin recipe somewhere, I will try & find it for you :) (and maybe see if I can make it egg & dairy-free too)
I think egg-and-dairy-free dad wants to go to the USA and get himself a food truck :p
Oh and you might find this bakery handy, if you don't already know about it: http://www.choicesglutenfree.com.au/
This is wonderful! I'm a vegan who's had to go gluten-free recently, so I get excited whenever I find something I can bake these days (I rarely had trouble as just a vegan). I like how you added apples and strawberries, I've only really seen the plain 'financier' type before.
Thanks for the nice comment, Tor! It makes me very happy to know that what I post is useful to someone. And thanks also for adding to my food vocabulary. I hadn't heard of 'financier' type before, so I've just finished googling it. :)
Thank you! Baked (missed apples, instead of sugar - a bit of Stevia, olive oil). Good taste, crunchy edges. Will be my fav. recipe. Thank you!
