Coffee Ovaltine Madeleines

I’ve been experimenting with Ovaltine in various desserts lately, and I finally found a combination that works beautifully: Coffee Ovaltine Madeleines. Ovaltine is a classic, kid-friendly drink, but when paired with coffee, the result is a delightful fusion of flavors. The bitterness of coffee complements the maltiness of Ovaltine, making for an irresistible treat. Best of all, since Ovaltine already contains sugar, this recipe requires significantly less sugar than usual.

Not only is this treat visually appealing, but it’s also a great way to use up any instant coffee powder you might have sitting in your pantry.
