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.
