Frequently Asked Questions About Banana macaron
What is a banana macaron made of?
A banana macaron has two crisp, almond-based meringue shells with a banana-flavored filling between them. The filling is commonly buttercream, ganache, or another firm cream; the shells themselves are not usually made with banana.
How do you make banana macaron filling?
Make banana macaron filling by flavoring a stable buttercream or ganache with banana extract or concentrated banana purée. Keep the filling thick enough to pipe: a runny center can soften the shells and squeeze out when the macarons are assembled.
Can you put fresh banana in a banana macaron?
Yes, but fresh banana can make a banana macaron filling watery and shorten the shells’ crispness. Use only a small amount, or cook the purée down first; a firm buttercream or ganache helps keep moisture away from the shells.
Why do banana macarons crack in the oven?
Banana macaron shells often crack when their surfaces have not dried before baking, the oven is too hot, or air bubbles remain in the batter. Tap the filled tray gently to release bubbles and wait until the shells feel dry to the touch.
Why are my banana macarons hollow inside?
Hollow banana macarons usually result from an overwhipped meringue, poorly folded batter, or uneven baking. Stop folding when the batter flows slowly in a ribbon, and avoid opening the oven while the shells are baking.
Why don’t my banana macarons have feet?
Banana macarons may lack feet if the piped shells went into the oven before their tops dried or if the oven temperature was unsuitable. Let the tops form a dry skin, then adjust the temperature based on how your oven actually bakes.
How should you store banana macarons?
Store banana macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator so the filling stays fresh and the shells do not absorb odors. Let them sit briefly at room temperature before serving for a softer texture and a clearer banana flavor.
Can banana macarons be frozen?
Yes, banana macarons can be frozen in an airtight container, with parchment between layers to prevent sticking. Thaw them in the refrigerator while still covered; this helps condensation form on the container rather than making the shells wet.
Do banana macarons need to mature before eating?
Yes, resting assembled banana macarons in the refrigerator gives moisture from the filling time to soften the shells slightly, creating the characteristic tender center. Keep them covered while they rest, and bring them out briefly before serving.
What is the difference between a banana macaron and a banana macaroon?
A banana macaron is a sandwich cookie with almond-meringue shells and banana-flavored filling. A banana macaroon is typically a denser, often coconut-based cookie, so the two desserts differ in ingredients, shape, and texture despite their similar names.

What is Banana macaron?
A banana macaron is a small French patisserie sweet made from two delicate almond-meringue shells with a banana-flavoured filling between them. The shells are lightly crisp outside and tender inside, while the filling adds a sweet, fruity note. It is distinct from a coconut macaroon.
In France and in cafés and bakeries elsewhere, macarons are commonly served with coffee or tea, as a small treat after a meal, or as part of an assortment. This is an energy-dense sweet, with most of its energy coming from carbohydrate and fat; one medium piece is about 24 g. Its rich sweetness makes it well suited to a small portion alongside unsweetened coffee or tea.
