Madeleine Cakes with Almond flour, Applesauce & Apricots

09/06/2014 by Julie Karla Leave a Comment

I love to develop healthier versions of well known recipes. When it comes to cakes or desserts, I always try to replace the refined sugar and wheat flour with healthier alternatives, or just reduce the amount. In general, I try to avoid the fast carbohydrates such as rice, flour, potatoes and pasta and replace them with slow carbohydrates such as vegetables rich in fibers and of course the Nordic darling, grains.

These Madeleine Cakes are also made a bit more healthy. I have replaced the refined sugar with apple sauce and finely chopped apricots, and replaced flour with almond flour. They taste wonderful and they are sweet enough for me. However, you can always add a tbsp. of agave syrup if you’d like them a tad sweeter. You can also add a teaspoon of cinnamon, which gives the cakes an extra touch.
