Spinach Madeleines Recipe
Fresh spinach madeleines are a delicious and healthy treat that's perfect for breakfast or as a snack. This recipe makes about 24 madeleines.
Ingredients
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Cooking spray or extra melted butter for the pan
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a madeleine pan with cooking spray or extra melted butter.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add in the chopped spinach leaves and stir to incorporate.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy. Gradually add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract while continuing to beat.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to fill each madeleine cavity about 2/3 of the way full with batter. Tap the pan gently to remove any air bubbles.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Allow the madeleines to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve your fresh spinach madeleines with a dollop of whipped cream, sliced strawberries, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and sweetness. Enjoy!
