Ingredients

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar and pulse until well combined and finely ground.
Separately, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy.
Continue beating until stiff peaks form after adding granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and salt.
Beat in the vanilla and banana extracts, as well as a few drops of blue food coloring, until just combined.
Gently fold in one-third of the almond flour mixture at a time until well combined.
Fill a piping bag with a round tip with the mixture.
Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Tap the baking sheet a few times on a flat surface to release any air bubbles.
Allow macarons to cool for 20-30 minutes at room temperature, or until a skin forms on top.
Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes, or until they are set but not browned.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
Spread a thin layer of blueberry jam on half of the macarons and sandwich with the other half.
To decorate the macarons, roll the edges in sprinkles.
Serve and have fun.
