Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flour<\/strong>: All-purpose flour is the classic base for light and tender madeleines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk: I use coconut milk, but regular milk works like a charm every time. Almond milk<\/a>, oat milk<\/a>, and cashew milk<\/a> - all will work well in this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter:<\/strong> I used salted butter. You can also use unsalted butter. Add 1\/4 teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients if using unsalted butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh cherries are<\/strong> the star of the show. Chocolate and cherries taste just fantastic together! Try them in chocolate cherry cake<\/a> or vegan cherry chocolate chip muffins<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate:<\/strong> My family loves dark chocolate madeleines, so that\u2019s my recommendation. 55%  to 70% chocolate is a fantastic choice. But feel free to use lighter chocolate if you prefer something sweeter and milder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocoa powder<\/strong>: For that deep, chocolatey flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut sugar<\/strong> gives chocolate cherry madeleines a mild caramel taste that I love. Brown sugar works well, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade vanilla extract<\/a> really lifts the flavor of the madeleines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How To Make Eggless Chocolate Cherry Madeleines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Melt your butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Take it off the heat and let it cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> While the butter cools, sift all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong>: Stir in sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> To these dry ingredients, add milk and vanilla extract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Slowly stir in the melted and cooled butter, and finally fold in the chocolate chips and chopped, pitted fresh cherries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6<\/strong>: Cover the batter in cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The chocolate cherry madeleines are also a great make-ahead recipe, as you can chill the batter for up to 2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> If you\u2019re using a metal mold like me, grease it with a liberal hand and then sprinkle with flour. Pipe the batter \u00beth of the way in each cavity and then bake. But if you\u2019re using a silicone mold, no prep is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Bake the eggless cherry madeleines for 12 to 14 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the tops are golden and a skewer or toothpick inserted comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
