Coconut Macaroons... low carb!

 I love coconut and macaroons are the perfect low carb treat.  Just a few ingredients and you have yourself a great dessert or snack!

Coconut Macaroons
Bad pics of good food!

4 egg whites
1/4 cup granulated sweetener (I prefer Lakanto monk fruit sweetener)
1/4 cup almond flour
2 cups unsweetened coconut
1 TBSP coconut oil, softened
1 TBSP vanilla

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Preheat oven to 375F.

Beat egg whites and sweetener in stand mixer until stiff peaks form.

While that's beating, mix together almond flour, unsweetened coconut, coconut oil, and vanilla in a medium sized bowl.

Once egg whites are stiff, fold gently into almond flour mixture.

Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet.  Bake about 10-15 minutes (see notes) or until tops are golden brown.

NOTES:  I make mine a little on the small side to get more so I bake them about 10 minutes.  You can make them larger and bake them a little longer.


What are you eating today?  Whatever it is, Keep it Clean!!
