Healthy banana bread madeleines are tender and cakey cookies dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with dark chocolate curls. These delicate little cookies are made gluten free using minimal ingredients.
Healthier White Chocolate Dipped Banana Bread Madeleines
This was my first attempt at creating a healthier recipe for madeleines. My only experience with these classic French cookies is at Starbucks as an impulse buy at the checkout counter. Side note: their pumpkin spice madeleines are amazing AF!
Anyway, I bought a madeleine pan a couple of weeks ago and decided to play it safe with these white chocolate dipped banana bread madeleines. You can’t make these cookies without this pan. I bought mine from Amazon. This is not an affiliate link but if you want this exact pan, you can get it here.
This delicious white chocolate madeleine recipe came together using just a few gluten free ingredients:
- ripe banana
- egg
- granulated erythritol, Truvia or coconut sugar
- coconut oil
- gluten free baking flour
- vanilla extract
- baking powder
- white chocolate chips
- dark chocolate curls
I’m already dying to create other Madeleine cake flavors. Double chocolate hazelnut and cranberry orange might be my next go! I would love to get some other ideas so don’t hesitate to leave a comment with what flavor you would like to see next.

White Chocolate Banana Bread Madeleines | Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 overly ripe banana
- 1 egg, large
- 3 tbsp granulated erythritol or granulated sweetener

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 c gluten free baking flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F and prepare a madeleine pan with non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the banana and add in the egg, sweetener, vanilla and coconut oil. Use a handheld mixer to beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the baking flour, baking powder and salt and stir until no dry spots remain.
- Transfer the batter to the molds and bake for 13-15 minutes. Let cool.
