Prep time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 8 minutes
Total time: 23 minutes
INGREDIENTS
2 Eggs, at room temperature
100 gm Good Graze Coconut Sugar, powdered
100 gm All-purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
40 gm Good Graze Desiccated Coconut
100 gm Good Graze Coconut Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp Nutmeg powder
1/4 tsp ground Cloves
Zest of 1 Lemon
Juice of 1 Lemon
METHOD
- Pre-heat oven to 190°C.
- Beat together eggs and sugar, until pale, creamy and thick, about 5 minutes. Add in sifted flour, baking powder and desiccated coconut and fold in gently, trying not to burst the bubbles incorporated during whisking eggs.
- Add coconut oil, vanilla extract, all the powdered spices, zest and juice of lemon and gently fold through. Refrigerate the batter by covering with cling film, about 30 minutes.
- Grease the madeleine pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar or avoid if the pan is non-stick. Add in a tablespoon of the chilled batter to each mould and bake for 8 minutes or until golden in colour and cooked through. Remove the pan from the oven, let it cool completely and then de-mould the pan. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the madeleines or apply frosting of choice.
