Ingredients Needed

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth chocolate coating)
  • Rum for serving

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the madeleine molds or use a non-stick spray. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Fill each madeleine mold about three-quarters full with the batter. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the molds.

Chocolate Dipping and Serving

While the madeleines are cooling, melt the chopped dark chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip each cooled madeleine into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.

Serve the chocolate-dipped banana madeleines with a glass of rum on the side. The rum enhances the tropical flavors and adds a warming finish to this indulgent dessert. For an extra touch, garnish with a slice of banana or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
