These Gluten Free Madeleines are the perfect little treat when you want something elegant but incredibly simple to make. They’re soft, buttery, lightly sweet, and bake into that classic scalloped shell shape that feels instantly fancy — even though they come together with basic pantry ingredients.

To make them extra special, I dip the cooled madeleines in rich dark chocolate and finish them with a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts. The combination is absolutely dreamy: the tender sponge, the snap of the chocolate, and the nutty crunch on top. They look like something from a bakery window, but they’re surprisingly easy to whip up at home.

These gluten free madeleines are perfect for holiday gifting, serving with coffee, or adding to a dessert board. And trust me — once you start dipping them in chocolate, you’ll want to try all kinds of variations!
