Ingredients You’ll Need
-
½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
-
¼ teaspoon baking powder
-
1 large egg
-
¼ cup (30g) agave nectar
-
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled
-
¼ cup Verena’s Kitchen Chocolate Brownie Butter
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Your Pan
Lightly grease your madeleine pan with oil or nonstick spray. Chill it in the refrigerator while you prepare the batter. This helps create the classic madeleine “hump.”
2. Whisk the Egg and Sugar
In a medium bowl, beat the egg and agave together until pale and slightly thickened. This gives your madeleines a light, fluffy texture.
3. Add the Flavor
Whisk in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the Chocolate Brownie Butter. The batter will look smooth, glossy, and deeply chocolatey.
4. Fold in Dry Ingredients
Sift the flour and baking powder together. Gently fold them into the wet mixture until just combined. Finally, fold in the melted butter for richness.
5. Rest the Batter
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight). Resting helps the batter thicken and ensures that perfect domed shape.
6. Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spoon the batter into your madeleine pan, filling each mold about ¾ full. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers spring back lightly when touched.
7. Cool and Serve
Let the madeleines cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy while warm.
