I was in the mood for a cookie and experimented with a dough. It turned out to be more of a batter, pretty wet, and I thought: "I'll put it in my Madeleine pan so it has a pretty shape." What came out of the oven was an spongy cake like the real deal and the recipe is so simple.

I of course had my little taste testers share their thoughts and they both agreed that they prefer the SunFun Butter™ version because of the roasted flavor in addition to the cacao. While I enjoy both, I felt the cashew butter offers a more creamy flavor.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Cashew Butter or Date-Sweetened SunFun Butter

  • ¼ cup coconut sugar*

  • ¼ cup raw cacao powder

  • ½ tsp. vanilla powder

  • ¼ tsp. baking soda

  • 1 egg

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease madeleine pan with coconut oil.

  2. Mix all ingredients except egg in food processor.

  3. Adjust sweetness if desired.

  4. Add egg & process until incorporated.

  5. Place into madeleine pan.

  6. Bake 9-11 minutes. Be careful not to burn.

  7. Remove from oven allowing to cool. Enjoy!

*If using SunFun Butter™ which creates a drier batter, you can use half coconut sugar & maple syrup.
