Healthy Coconut Macaroons
By fitcoach on Jul 3, 2009 in Side Dishes
Coconut is a highly nutritious food that can be very beneficial in a gluten free kitchen. Coconut is naturally gluten free, contains healthy oil, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
My Coconut Macaroons are made of 3 simple ingredients: coconut flakes, honey, and egg whites. So simple you could make them at home. Perfect for those short on time in the kitchen!
Basic Macaroons:
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
6 egg whites
3/4 cup or honey
pinch of salt
optional:
add 1/4 cup (blueberries, cranberries, almonds, raisins)
Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the coconut, honey, and egg whites in a large bowl. Stir in any add-ins you want to use, blueberries, cranberries, almonds, raisins. Spoon onto the cookie sheet in little balls and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

You never cease to amaze me! Thank you for such a great instructional method. I cannot wait to try this at home. I’ll let you know how they turn out.
Thank you so much!

In theory, this recipe is fab, but I’m making them RIGHT NOW and all I have is a wet, soupy mess that can NO WAY be formed into balls for the oven. Is it REALLY three-quarters of a cup of honey? What have I got wrong?

Hi Erin, Sorry to hear that it is not working out for you. Yes it is 3/4 cup of honey. Add more coconut to thicken them up. Juan
