Why French Macarons Are Naturally Gluten-Free
French macarons are often misunderstood, but at their core, they are naturally gluten-free pastries. Traditional macarons are made with almond flour, egg whites, and sugar—no wheat, no gluten.
At BKLYN MACS, we honor the classic French method while adding modern flavors inspired by Brooklyn and New York City.
What Makes Macarons Gluten-Free?
Authentic macarons rely on:
-
Almond flour instead of wheat flour
-
Egg whites for structure
-
Precise ratios and technique
This makes them an ideal dessert for those avoiding gluten—when made correctly.
Precision Matters
Because macarons are delicate, consistency and technique are critical. Our team focuses on:
-
Controlled mixing and resting
-
Exact baking times
-
Balanced fillings that complement, not overpower
This precision ensures a smooth shell, chewy interior, and clean flavor profile.
