Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
- 6 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling or dipping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens into a gel-like consistency. This will act as the egg substitute in the recipe.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, and salt. Stir to evenly mix the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Add the thickened flaxseed mixture, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, form the dough into 12 even-sized rounded mounds and place them on the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown on the edges and slightly firm to the touch.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
If desired, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons or dip the bottoms into the chocolate.
Step 9
Let the chocolate set before serving. Store macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
