Course Dessert

Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 16 macaroons
Author Rachel Conners

Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons 90g unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup 128g creamy almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons 26g coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until completely combined. The mixture should hold together in balls, but not be too crumbly.
  • Using a cookie scoop or your hand, form tablespoon-sized balls and bake for 15 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for another 7-10 minutes or until the macaroons are light golden brown. Let cool completely before removing from the tray. Store leftovers at room temperature in a sealed ziplock bag.

Notes

**Make sure you're using finely shredded coconut. Regular shredded coconut won't stick together the way unsweetened, finely shredded coconut will. I recommend using Bob's Red Mill brand for the best results.
