Bored of baking banana bread in quarantine yet? Impress your family and friends with Black Sesame Madeleines instead- a nutty twist to these petite sponge cakes!
Black sesame seeds are a familiar asian flavour, used commonly in local bakeries and buns or sprinkled over dishes to up the level of finesse in your plating. They have a slightly stronger, nuttier flavour and are a delicious way to add more antioxidants, iron, and fibre to your diet for a better heart and digestive health! Our Black Sesame Almond Butter used here features lightly roasted almonds and black sesame stone-ground into a rich flavourful butter. Sweetened only with organic molasses, it contains zero palm oil and no salt - just pure goodness!
Incorporate it into this classic recipe by fellow grazer Agnes Loh (@itakeomelas), and you've got yourself a wholesome and yummy afternoon tea-time snack for the family (or just for yourself). Try it below:

1/4 tsp Baking Powder
2/3 tbsp Sesame oil
4 tbsp Butter (melted) or 3 tbsp Oil
1/8 cup Black Sesame Seeds
