Maple Granola Madeleines

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons for pans (optional)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, either light or dark, packed
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1/4 cup real maple syrup (the darker the syrup, the stronger the maple flavor)
• 1 cup of your favorite granola, either homemade or store-bought

1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350F.
2. Coat two 12-shell pans with baking spray, or melt an additional 2 tablespoons butter and brush a little in each mold.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Place butter and sugars in a 2-quart microwavable glass bowl or measuring cup.
5. Microwave on low for 1 to 2 minutes and then stir mixture with a whisk until smooth.
6. If butter is not melted, microwave for 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
7. Let mixture cool for 3 to 4 minutes and then add egg, whisking well until completely blended.
8. Add maple syrup and flour mixture and whisk until thoroughly blended.
9. Using a scoop or a teaspoon, fill shell molds with batter until almost full.
10. Top each with a generous spoonful of granola, gently pressing it into the batter.
11. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until madeleines are slightly mounded.
12. Remove pan from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 2 to 3 minutes, then invert and tap madeleines onto the rack.
13. You may also use a small offset spatula to remove each one individually.
