Blueberry Friands Recipe

A Blood Type Diet Recipe for A's and O's

Everyone in my family absolutely LOVES these Blueberry Friands.  My mom made some when she was visiting for Christmas and we were all hooked at first bite.  I modified her recipe just a tad to make these delectable treats both blood type O and A friendly. 

 

Just a word of caution... if you enjoy them as much as my family does, they disappear within hours of coming out of the oven, even when I double the recipe.

Blueberry Friands Recipe

Blood Types: O and A

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Caster Sugar
• 1/2 cup Spelt Flour
• 1/2 cup ground almonds (or you can use all spelt flour)
• 3/4 cups melted butter (use ghee, clarified butterif making for A's)
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• pinch salt
• 1 cup of blueberries
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbls agave

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a small sauce pan, bring blueberries, water and agave to a boil.  Then reduce the heat and simmer while preparing the batter.
3. Sift flour, almonds, sugar, and salt.
4. Alternate between folding the ghee and eggs into the flour until you have a smooth batter.
5. Pour into friand (mini-muffin) tin, filling cups 3/4 full.
6.  Spoon blueberries into centers.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

*Castor sugar is just finely ground sugar. I make my own by putting raw organic cane sugar in my Blendtec Professional's Choice Blender (or a Vitamix) and turning to the top speed for 40 seconds or so.  I prefer using organic sugars but regular white sugar will work.
