Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven and Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a madeleine pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and brown sugar until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond meal, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Add Melted Butter

  • Stir in the slightly cooled melted unsalted butter until a smooth batter forms.

Fill the Madeleine Pan

  • Fill each madeleine mold about 2/3 full.

Bake the Madeleines

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them as ovens vary.

Cool and Unmold

  • Let the madeleines cool in the pan for a few minutes before gently unmolding them. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust and Serve

  • Once completely cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy with a warm cup of coffee or tea!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Madeleines

  • Don't overmix the batter! Overmixing will develop the gluten and result in tough madeleines.
  • Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding it to the batter to prevent the batter from becoming too thin.
  • For extra chocolate flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of strong brewed coffee to the batter.
  • If you don't have a madeleine pan, you can use a mini muffin tin; the shape won't be as distinct, but they'll still be delicious.
