Servings 16 macaroons
Ingredients
- ½ cup freeze-dried bananas
- 1½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 150 g about ⅔ cup coconut cream, just the thick part from the top of the can of coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips
- 4 ounces dark chocolate melted
Instructions
- Crush freeze-dried bananas into a powder in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
- In a large bowl, combine the coconut, coconut cream, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, freeze-dried banana powder, and cacao nibs and mix well until fully combined.
- Use a small cookie scoop to create scoops with the coconut mixture and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Transfer to the fridge or freezer until hardened. Once they’re firm, dip the bottom of each coconut ball in the dark chocolate and return to the parchment paper. Drizzle with the remaining dark chocolate.
- Transfer to the fridge for the chocolate to set, then enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
