Healthy Coconut Macaroons
Sweet and sticky coconut macaroons
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened fine shredded/desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 3 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl. Stir until fully combined and sticky.
- Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop 8 even sized balls of the mixture on to your cookie sheet. Roll each ball of the mixture into a ball and press down on the cookie sheet so the bottom is flat and the top is dome shaped, like a traditional macaroon shape.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, until the tops and bottoms are slightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Enjoy as is or optionally drizzle with melted chocolate. Enjoy!
