It's that time of the year... it's getting colder outside, the days are shorter and the holidays are coming closer. Perfect time for staying inside and doing lots of baking
Here is a recipe for coconut lime macaroons. You might be wondering about one ingredient in the ingredients list that is called aquafaba. Usually coconut macaroons are made with egg whites to bind them and keep them from falling apart. Now, a while ago someone discovered that the cooking liquid from your chickpeas or beans has the same properties than egg whites. So aquafaba is nothing else than the drained cooking liquid from beans. Yes it is quite amazing, I could not believe myself the first time I saw what can be done with aquafaba. Indeed you can use it as an egg replacement in baked goods or use it to make meringues, macarons and much more.
