These gluten-free matcha green tea Madeleines are a fun way to enjoy these French cakes. Light and fluffy, you will love the subtle green tea flavors. Drizzle icing for a special treat.

I am on a Madeleine kick lately…and these dairy free matcha green tea Madeleines are no exception. Not only do these tiny French cakes have a wonderful flavor, but they pack a tiny caffeine kick as well :-).

So far I have experimented with pumpkin, kumquat, and butterscotch in Madeleine recipes and it is hard to pick a favorite.

For this Madeleine recipe I decided to make it dairy free by using coconut oil and coconut cream instead of butter. These Madeleines are delicate and cake-like so the experiment went well 🙂

(*Note, not all matcha green tea powders are gluten free. Check ingredients!! Trader Joe’s matcha powder is NOT gluten free!)

  1. I love drinking matcha and have been looking for healthy recipes using matcha in baking. I have some culinary matcha in my freezer waiting for a good recipe. and these madelines are just perfect! For the 1/2 cup sugar, can I substitute maple syrup? If so, how much would I use? Or maybe coconut sugar? I’m trying to use healthier, alternative sweeteners in my baking. Also what’s the best way to store these, and how long will they last? Thanks!
