What do you get when you cross a friand, mini bundt pan and juicy red raspberries? Insanely moist and delicious gluten free raspberry bundt friands. French cuteness factor – extreme.
You can use different nut meals such as hazelnut and pistachio and substitute any berry of your choice including blueberries, strawberries and blackberries. These friands have been taken to a new level of decadence with a drizzle of raspberry royal icing but for those who prefer a naked friand simply omit the icing. I usually prepare a combination of both and lick any remaining icing from the bowl. Work hazard!

Is it important that you use plain GF flour? I have a mixed baking flour (Namaste) with xanthum or whatever in it already. Would that work well?
Hi Whitney,
You should be okay because the flour is also combined with almond meal and icing sugar. Give it a go.
Hi! I’m in love with this recipe and with this pan! Where could I find them? Thank you!
Hi Cinthia,
You can purchase the pan from William Sonoma. I’m sure it is available online too. Happy baking.
