Keto Macaroons
These Keto Macaroons combine whipped egg whites with powdered sweetener, melted coconut butter, desiccated coconut, and optional vanilla extract to form moist coconut cookies. Baked until lightly golden, the macaroons can be optionally dipped in sugar-free chocolate. The recipe yields a low-carb treat with a textured, chewy bite suitable for ketogenic diets.
Ingredients
For the Macaroons
- 3 egg large, whites
- 3 tablespoon powdered sweetener
- 3 tbsp / 40g coconut butter melted, or use coconut cream
- 2 cup / 200g desiccated coconut unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
For the Chocolate Dip (optional)
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips 60g, sugar free
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit (electric) or 160C / 320F fan.
- Whisk the egg whites in a dry and grease-free glass or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Add the powdered sweetener and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Add the melted coconut butter and vanilla extract and mix.
- Now stir in the desiccated coconut.
- Use a cookie scoop or form balls with a flat surface and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Optional Chocolate Dip
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave (in 30 second bursts) or in a double boiler. Dip the macaroons into the chocolate. Place back onto the parchment paper and cool in the fridge until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Each macaroon contains approximately 1.7 grams of net carbs.
- To firm batter, add more shredded coconut; to loosen, add more egg white.
- Store macaroons in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze up to three months.
- For best texture, use unsweetened desiccated coconut and soft but unmelted coconut butter.
