Ingredients
-
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
-
2 ½ tablespoons coconut oil (refined or unrefined)
-
¼ teaspoon pink salt or sea salt
-
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
-
4 tablespoons maple syrup
-
4 teaspoons coconut flour or almond flour (organic preferred)
Instructions
-
Melt the Coconut Oil:
In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the coconut oil over low heat. -
Combine the Wet Ingredients:
Once melted, turn off the heat and whisk in the salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined. -
Prepare the Coconut Mixture:
In a Nutri-Bullet, food processor, or blender, combine the shredded coconut and coconut flour (or almond flour). -
Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the melted coconut oil mixture into the coconut and flour mix. Blend until the mixture comes together and everything is evenly incorporated. -
Cool the Mixture:
Transfer the blended mixture to the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to cool, making it easier to form into balls. -
Form the Macaroons:
Once cooled, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and shape it into small balls, placing each on a plate. -
Set the Macaroons:
If your kitchen is cool, you can let the macaroons harden at room temperature. If it’s warm, place them in the refrigerator to set. (The texture is best at room temperature.) -
Optional Toppings:
Drizzle with homemade chocolate or roll in crushed nuts, cacao powder, or other toppings as desired.
Notes
-
Storage: Store the macaroons in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
-
Customize: Feel free to drizzle chocolate or add different toppings like cacao nibs or dried fruit for more texture and flavor.
