The Story

Hi. I’m Luna.

Macaroona was named after a nickname my friends gave me: Oona. Macarons are my newfound hobby.

It all started around Mother’s Day, when I wanted to make my mom a fun dessert that I hadn’t made before. I made her a batch of Nutella macarons. They were so good, but they looked horrible. I knew there was room to improve.

So, I did. They were pretty and tasty.

Then I made Vanilla. Then I made Pistachio.

I tweaked some recipes and kept trying more flavors. Soon enough I had Lemon, Chocolate, and Raspberry.

From there, I was inspired to find a substitute for almond flour in order to provide a nut-free option. After a handful of trial and errors, I tried sunflower seeds, and they were a hit.

See for yourself! I’m positive you’ll enjoy.
