Are you ready for The Big Lunch this weekend?

Don’t worry if you’re not sure what to make — recent star of Great British Bake Off Rosie Brandreth-Poynter is here with a suggestion.

These delightfully light, melt in the mouth Tiger Madeleines are completely vegan. The perfect little treat!

Method:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees (160 degrees fan).
  2. Grease the madeleine tin well with margarine (or an oil-based cake release spray).
  3. Add all ingredients (except the cocoa powder) into a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
  4. Separate into two bowls and add the cocoa powder to half of the batter.
  5. Add little blobs of each batter into each hole in the madeleine tray. The batter should not quite reach top of the holes.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes or until nice and golden and risen.
  7. Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes, before removing and cooling on a rack.
  8. Once cool, melt the chocolate (short bursts on a low setting in the microwave, or in a bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water).
  9. Dip each madeleine into the chocolate so 1/3 is covered, shake off any excess then sprinkle on your choice of sprinkles, cacao nibs, freeze-dried fruit etc.
