I really love your recipes Chris! There are quite a few things that I cannot eat, like garlic and eggs, yet I find recipe after recipe of delicious and super healthy recipes that I can use!

Hi Jacqueline,
Thank you for your comment.
I’m sorry it was too strong of a flavor for you. Ours tasted great and were not overpowered by the almond flavor. I do taste a bit of the batter before I form them and put them in the oven. Perhaps, my almond flavor was weak and therefore I needed more, or perhaps it is just something for each to his own taste.
I do appreciate the feedback.
Hope you try them again with a bit less almond flavor.

The almond flavor in these was way too strong for me, overpowering everything else. If I make these again I would probably omit it or cut it way down. Thanks for the egg-free recipe!

This recipe is really intriguing to me. Not only do I love macaroons, but I love the unexpected ingredients in these… a must-try.

Sorry folks..
ya, it was 1/4 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup chickpea flour although I think you could probably use other flours if you are allergic to wheat.

This weekend I made some macaroons too! I was so happy when it worked out because…who needs egg whites? Exept from the coconut, mine had completely different ingredients though. The recipe still needs a little bit of tweeking but I will send you a mail when I blog about them.
Yours look really cute and delicious and I will definitely give them a try, too. Christmas, here we come!

Can you review the ingredients? I think there may be a mistake or two. How much whole wheat flour and how much chickpea or soy flour do you use? I made the quinoa salad with grapes and almonds that you have listed under quinoa and it was superb. Thanks. I modified it by using cubed baked tofu that had been marinated in a pineapple marinade instead of spicy tofu and will add candied pecans next time instead of the almonds. It’s a winner. People were licking their plates. Thanks again. Your site is just terrific and the photos are wonderful.

Thank you for your comment.
Ya, I was quite pleased with these. I do recommend using the sweetened coconut if you can get it. They are really good cookies..and no oil… and no backing powder…amazing…
I hope you enjoy them as mu ch as we did.
