Australian Carob Coconut Macaroons
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup egg whites
- 2 tbsps The Australian Carob Co. Roasted or Raw Carob Powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tbsps organic real maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure and real vanilla extract
OPTIONAL
- 3 tbsps Carob Chips, (we recommend our recipe for homemade carob chips)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium-size bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the salt and carob powder. Continue to whip to stiff peaks.
-
Using the cut and fold technique, fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut. Then add maple syrup and vanilla extract into the mixture. Continue to fold until well combined.
-
Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, portion one (1) tablespoon per macaroon and space evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or a bit longer for even browning. Every oven is different so adjust baking times based on the type of oven that you are using.
-
Allow the macaroons to cool.
-
Enjoy with your favourite beverage!
OPTIONAL
-
Heat carob chips in the microwave until melted or until it reaches nice dipping consistency.
-
Gently dip the bottom of each macaroon to about 1/4 of the way up the side. If you have extra shredded coconut, you may also coat the bottom with that as the final step.
-
Place dipped macaroons back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to allow them to set or to cool completely before serving.
