Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 125 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 1 medium-sized Ripe banana
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Macadamia nuts, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly butter and flour a madeleine pan, or use a non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is pale and thick, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Mash the ripe banana thoroughly and stir it into the egg mixture along with the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Slowly stream in the melted butter, folding gently until fully incorporated, then fold in the chopped macadamia nuts.

Step 8

Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the madeleines to cool in the pan for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving. Enjoy your Banana Macadamia Madeleines warm or at room temperature!
