Mini Financier Cakes with Blueberries

Just like almond financiers cake, but made of hazelnut powder and matcha tea… Moreover they are round and not rectangular!

I am proposing today a recipe for some mini hazelnut cakes, very similar to financier cake. It’s so easy to do and needs egg whites. The remaining egg yolks will serve for a sauce or custard. I did my cakes with blueberries, but you can decorate yours with red fruits or anything you like.
