Chocolate Coconut Macaroons
These chocolate coconut macaroons blend shredded unsweetened coconut with almond flour, honey (or maple syrup), raw cacao, and coconut oil to form rich, chewy cookies. The mixture is scooped and baked until the bottoms brown slightly, creating a textured cookie with a balance of coconut and chocolate flavors. Their natural sweetness and texture come from the combination of coconut and almond flour, without the need for refined flours.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 1/2 cup almond flour finely ground
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raw cacao
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
- Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through. The bottom of each macaroon will start to brown when finished.
- Cool macaroons on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a plate (otherwise, they will break apart).
