Easy Saffron-laced Baked Badam Burfi or Almond Fudge (gluten-free, vegan, low-sugar)

This year for Diwali/ Deepavali, I had made a baked version of almond burfi and my friends loved it during a potluck dinner. After a friend asked me for the recipe recently, I finally made it again to finally document the recipe and share it. It is almost Christmas now, so there is more opportunity to make sweets for a party!
Badam burfi is typically made using blanched almonds and sugar syrup. It is an elaborate procedure that involves stirring frequently on a low flame.
Enter blanched almond flour, and it makes the method so much easier! And I have been able to take it one step further- completely eliminate the stove-top cooking. Just mix and bake- voila! You have delicious badam burfi with minimal effort.
The magical color and flavor that pure saffron offers! Just heavenly!

Just waiting for this recipe. I loved it so much when I had them last time you made it for us. I am gonna try them tomorrow for sure.
Thanks for trying it out and the feedback Suchi!
Finally made it.Delicious and very easy receipe.
Great! Glad that you all liked it 😊. Thank you
Can we sub the coconut flour ? Also can I use coconut milk instead of almond milk ? And palm jaggery instead of the sugar ? Also how runny or solid should the batter be ?
Thank you !
I would suggest to add more almond flour to sub the coconut flour. Yes, any milk can be used in place of almond milk. Jaggery might give a slightly different taste, I have not tried it in this recipe. Let me know how it turns out!
can we make almond flour at home?
Yes! We can grind almonds carefully in a blender to make a powder. Don’t blend it too much or it will turn into almond butter
