Servings: 12 macaroons
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: 2 oz sugar-free dark chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, almond flour, and powdered erythritol. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are frothy. Add the vanilla extract to the egg whites.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg white mixture into the coconut mixture, stirring until everything is well incorporated and holds together.
- Form the Macaroons: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form the mixture into small mounds, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them on the lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 15 minutes or until the macaroons are golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Optional Chocolate Drizzle: Once cooled, drizzle melted sugar-free dark chocolate over the tops of the macaroons for an extra touch of indulgence.
