Description
Delicious and guilt-free Sugar Free Keto Macarons that are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying on a keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered erythritol, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining powdered erythritol while beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and any food coloring, mixing gently until combined.
- Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture in three additions, being cautious not to deflate the egg whites. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each macaron.
- Tap the baking sheets gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the macarons are set and can be easily lifted off the parchment paper.
- Allow the macarons to cool completely on the baking sheets before filling with your favorite sugar-free filling, such as sugar-free buttercream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For best results, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature for better volume.
- You can experiment with different flavors by adding extracts like almond or peppermint to the batter.
