Hazelnut macaroons, or macaroons in general, remind me of my childhood. My mom always baked macaroons at Christmas and I was allowed to help in the kitchen. Cookies were always a big topic in our family. I can still remember when my relatives visited and the whole table was full of colorful cookies. It was sometimes really difficult to decide between all the goodies. There are supposed to be people who do not like cookies, or sweets? I am definitely not one of them. Just the smell alone when the Christmas cookies are in the oven just blows me away. The roasted aromas of hazelnuts, simply irresistible. Are you in the mood for Christmas cookies? Then stay tuned.
Vegan hazelnut macaroons
This recipe is just right for me, quick, easy and delicious. Hazelnuts, raw cane sugar, warm water, a little oil and starch, that’s all. I grind the hazelnuts myself in my high-powered blender, but you can also get them ready-ground in organic quality. Mix everything into a dough and spread on wafers. Then decorate with a hazelnut and off it goes into the oven.
You may have noticed that I have another new obsession and that is tapioca starch. The is gluten-free and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for gluten-free cooking. In this recipe I use the product once again to bind the macaroons. Since not everyone has the starch at home, I’d like to share a few more tips for gluten-free binders:
- Soy flour , is particularly suitable as an egg substitute because it contains lecithin. This made the formation of an emulsion of fat and water possible.
- Locust bean gum (1-2g per 100g)
- Ground psyllium husks (2-4g per 100g)
- Corn starch , Potato starch , Arrowroot flour
- Xanthan Gum (you already know this)
- Chia and flaxseed
- Agar-agar (especially suitable for gelling)
Well, are those enough alternatives? I think there is something for everyone. Best you try here also once for you, what fits best. I am currently an absolute fan of tapioca starch and use it for very many purposes. However, it is also not always the right choice, as it tends to thicken some dishes too much and the fluffiness can be lost. I continue to try to give a handful of options for each dish.
Vegan macaroons, a treat for the palate
Macarons come in so many different varieties and I think the most famous are still the coconut macarons. Since I also already have a simple recipe on my page, maybe you might try them? I’m sure I might come up with a cool macaron combination or two in the near future. If you’d like even more cookie choices, check it out here. On the page with 21 cookies and more you will find everything for Christmas baking.
