Matcha madeleines

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Lightly grease the madeleine mold.

· In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar. Add the melted coconut oil, honey, and salt, and mix well. Add the matcha powder. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.

· Add the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder. Add the oat milk.

Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tins. Wet both index fingers and gently spread the batter with your fingers so the surface is flat.

Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.

Remove and let cool completely.

I love to create variations of recipes with matcha. If you want to try something different than your daily Matcha latte these madeleines cookies are easy to make.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

You’ll love Matcha Madeleines for their perfect balance of flavor and elegance. These delicate, shell-shaped French cakes are infused with the earthy, slightly sweet notes of premium matcha green tea, creating a unique twist on a classic favorite. The gentle bitterness of the matcha beautifully complements the madeleine’s buttery, moist texture, resulting in a treat that feels both sophisticated and comforting at the same time.

Beyond their taste, Matcha Madeleines are a true delight for the senses. Their vibrant green hue adds a touch of artistry to any dessert table, and their soft, spongy crumb pairs perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet afternoon moment or sharing them with friends, these little cakes bring a sense of calm indulgence. 

Ingredients Note:

These ingredients aren’t just tasty but also offer amazing benefits for your health too, just like:

• 2 large eggs: Rich in healthy fats, protein, and choline, eggs help support hormone production and balance, especially estrogen and progesterone.
  
• 2 tablespoons of monk fruit or allulose: These natural, low-glycemic sweeteners help regulate blood sugar levels, preventing insulin spikes that can disrupt hormonal balance.
  
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that support thyroid function and aid in the production of steroid hormones.
  
• 1 tablespoon of honey: Provides natural sugars and antioxidants that can help stabilize blood sugar and support adrenal health.
  
• 1 pinch of salt: Helps regulate cortisol levels and supports adrenal function by maintaining proper electrolyte balance.
  
• 1 tablespoon of matcha powder: Packed with antioxidants and L-theanine, matcha supports cortisol regulation and reduces stress-related hormonal imbalances.
  
• ½ cup of almond flour: Rich in vitamin E and magnesium, it supports reproductive hormone balance and insulin sensitivity.
  
• 2 tablespoons of coconut flour: High in fiber and healthy fats, it supports stable blood sugar and balanced insulin levels.
  
• ½ teaspoon of baking powder: While not directly affecting hormones, it aids digestion, which indirectly supports hormone metabolism.
  
• 2 tablespoons of oat milk: Contains beta-glucans that support gut health, which plays a key role in regulating hormone detoxification and balance.

Secrets to Success

o This dessert goes delicious with afternoon tea; I recommend black tea.

o You can store your madeleines and consume them within the next 5 days.

Recipe Variations

Here are two delicious varieties of Matcha Madeleines that you can try at home.

1. Coconut Yogurt Matcha Madeleines with Lemon Zest

Add 2 tablespoons of coconut yogurt and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the original recipe. The coconut yogurt keeps the madeleines extra soft and tender, while the lemon zest brightens the earthy matcha flavor. Mix all wet ingredients (eggs, sweetener, coconut oil, honey, yogurt) until smooth, then fold in the dry ingredients and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes. The result is a light, citrusy treat with a creamy finish that pairs perfectly with tea.

2. Coconut Yogurt Matcha Madeleines with Dark Chocolate Drizzle

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of coconut yogurt into the batter for added moisture and richness. Once baked and slightly cooled, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the madeleines and let them set. The creamy tang of coconut yogurt balances the bitterness of matcha, while the dark chocolate adds a decadent touch. Perfect for dessert or a mid-day pick-me-up with antioxidants and flavor in every bite.

Recipe FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of almond and coconut flour?
Yes, you can substitute with all-purpose flour if you’re not avoiding gluten, but the texture will be slightly less nutty and dense. Adjust the amount slightly to achieve a smooth, thick batter.

2. What type of matcha is best for madeleines?
Use culinary-grade matcha for baking—it’s more affordable and has a stronger flavor that holds up during baking. Ceremonial matcha is higher quality but best reserved for drinking.

3. How should I store Matcha Madeleines?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them and reheat slightly before serving to restore their soft texture.
