How to Make Banana Macadamia Madeleines

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place 2 ripe bananas in a food processor and process until completely smooth.
Add 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened, 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large egg whites, and 1 large egg. Process until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (100g) powdered sugar, 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the food processor. Pulse 2-3 times, or until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 1 cup (100g) chopped macadamia nuts.
Pulse 2 times to distribute the nuts evenly. Do not overmix.
Lightly grease 12 madeleine molds with baking spray or melted butter.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into each mold, filling about ¾ full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the madeleines are golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
Immediately remove the madeleines from the molds and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Repeat steps 8-11 with remaining batter.
Once completely cool, sift 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar over the madeleines for an extra touch of sweetness.
