Crunchy Paleo Coconut Macaroons

Recipe by:author
These sweet macaroons are made with natural ingredients like shredded coconut, maple syrup, and coconut milk.

Tools

  • Baking tray
  • Baking paper or non-stick reusable baking sheet.
  • Saucepan
  • Melon baller or ice cream scoop

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
  • 1 T coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 T coconut milk
  • 3 T honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 t vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper or non-stick reusable baking sheet.
  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
  • Heat the mixture to a high heat and simmer for about two minutes or until thickened so that it is firm enough to scoop out in ball shapes.
  • Remove from the heat. Scoop into balls onto the baking sheet. Use a rounded tablespoon, melon baller or ice cream scoop.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Time depends on the type of oven you have. Check after 5 minutes, and bake until they are golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven once cooked and transfer to a cooling rack. The macaroons are slightly fragile so let them cool and set before removing from the tray.
