Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white plain flour
  • 1/4 cup white self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 100g almond meal
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup So Good soy milk 
  • 1/4 cup rice bran oil
  • 1 cup pie apple (no added sugar), roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 5 egg whites

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly spray 12 non-stick friand moulds with oil. Cut out oval circles of baking paper and line the bottom of each friand hole.
  2. Step 2

    Combine flours, icing sugar, almond meal and cinnamon. Add So Good soy milk, oil, apple and blueberries and stir until just combined.
  3. Step 3

    Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and carefully fold into mixture. Spoon into prepared moulds and bake for 25-30 minutes. Sit for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling tray and serve dusted with icing sugar.

Tips

  • If you don't have friand moulds then muffin moulds are a suitable alternative.
