Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a madeleine pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
In a separate large bowl, beat the erythritol and eggs together using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the batter. Gently fold until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each cavity of the prepared madeleine pan, spreading it to fill the cavity evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers spring back when lightly touched.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the madeleines cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the madeleines warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
