Raspberry Chocolate Madeleines (gluten-free & vegan)

Special thank you to Amore di Mona for sponsoring this post.

These Raspberry Chocolate Madeleines are beautifully light, chocolatey with a secret raspberry surprise in centre dipped in luscious dark chocolate and sprinkled with dried raspberries and shelled hemp seeds.

This is my first time making madeleines and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out, absolutely delicious. I’m already thinking of new possible flavour combinations that I could bake next. Also I need to make the most of my new madeleine baking tin!

I’ve developed this recipe for Amore di Mona vegan chocolate and many of you already know that these aside of being vegan and gluten-free are also nut and coconut-free. Wonderful for all of you that are on a very restricted diets. I am aware that some of you can’t tolerate oats, but I did included them in this recipe to make the madeleines extra light and fluffy as you would expect from a good madeleine. Please replace the oats with another gluten-free flour if necessary.

This is my second version of this recipe as I needed to make few adjustments to get the quantity right to fit the tin perfectly and they are even better than the first version. You can bake them little longer for more crispy flavour or less time for lighter more fluffy version.

Have lots of fun decorating these, they look really pretty dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with toppings. Enjoy :)
