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!
