Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Madeleines
This is a great little treat to add to those holiday cookie platters! Guests will be especially impressed if they have food allergies or are trying to eat lower sugar. It is not only gluten-free but refined sugar-free too! This recipe makes 48 little Madeleines, and the macros are based on 3 per person. Since Madeleine trays may differ in hole size (and therefore portion size), use the macros as a guideline.
Chef Tips:
- You will need two 24-hole Madeleine trays. Alternatively, bake one batch at a time be sure to grease and dust your tray again before the second bake. Having said that, they take so quickly to bake, you can easily get by with just one 24-hole tray and making one after the other.
- The melted butter must not be piping hot, so allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the eggs to prevent cooking the egg.
- Be sure to use gluten-free flour when dusting the tray to keep this whole recipe free of gluten.
