3, 2, 1 – 1st entry launched… No Fat, No sugar Macaroons

Are you staying in this New Year – need a super quick treat, NOW? Try these….

No Fat, No sugar Macaroons – two flavours in one go.

Makes 12pcs (on 50mm round wafers)

Prep time: 5min

Bake time: 6-8min (200Celsius)

I love that I can have several flavours in one batch (no need to decide what to make),

this time I made Cocoa/ Oats and Rum/Coconut but feel free to adjust flavouring based on your taste; maybe you prefer Cinnamon/ Oats?

The recipe below uses my preferred quantities for these different ultra fast mini treats. Wondering why it makes only 12pcs? I try not to make too large amounts of treats as I – like most people, am inclined to finish my plate – always…
Main base mixture:

• 2 large egg whites (whipped stiff)
• Pinch salt
• 3 micro scoops of 80% Stevia powder dissolved in 2 table spoons hot water

Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or tabs (need to be dissolved too), adding more is easier than diluting – you could end up with a huge amount of treat -Don’t have any Stevia yet? – you can always use normal sweetener products until you are set up.

>>>>>Divide main egg white mix into two bowls.

Cocoa/ Oats flavour =>> stir in:

• 40g breakfast oats
• 1 table spoon unsweetened Cocoa powder
• Couple of drops of Vanilla flavouring – optional

Rum/Coconut flavour =>> stir in:

• 50g Desiccated Coconut “unsweetened” => you want to keep it sugar free…
• Couple of drops of Rum flavouring (I use Dr Oetker b)

Have your baking tray with baking paper and wafers ready (I use Kuechle “Back Oblaten”- make them crispy outside and soft inside). Place a tablespoonful of batter mix onto each wafer – or directly onto your non stick tray liner if you don’t have wafers.

Bake for 6-8 minutes, until edges are golden brown.

My oven likes it this way, bake-turn-bake – sometimes it’s helpful to turn the tray round halfway through the baking process to get them evenly golden brow.

Cool completely – this goes really quickly when they are on a cooling rack.

There you go all done – quick and easy.

And NOW –it’s time to pinch one before the family discovers them (in my case my fussy eater husband – he love these – shame he likes both flavours – can’t keep any for myself then L

And because I like to know what I eat (since this year) here’s the calorie count:

6pcs Oat/ Cocoa: approx. 29 kcals/ pcs

6pcs Rum/ Coconut: approx. 46.5 kcals/ pcs

Happy New Year – toast to a treat-full new year with my Stevia-sweet blog!
