Serves: 1 dozen
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp powdered Stevia
  • 3 tbsp almond flour
  • 3 egg whites
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips (use dairy-free brand, like Enjoy Life)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix coconut, baking powder, salt, stevia, almond flour
  3. Fold in the egg whites and mix thoroughly
  4. Form 1-2 inch macaroon "balls" and place on a well-greased baking sheet
  5. Bake for 13-20 minutes, and remove when golden
  6. While the macaroons cool, heat a double boiler to melt your chocolate
  7. When the macaroons have cooled (won't take long) individually swirl/dip your macaroons in the melted chocolate. Salivate and lick your fingers. You can cover as much/as little of the macaroon in the chocolate as you please, or even drizzle additional chocolate on top
  8. Place the macaroons on a cooling rack, and place in freezer to harden
  9. Remove from freezer after about 15 minutes
  10. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
To turn these into healthified Almond Joys, press one almond into each macaroon before baking. This is a glorious modification!
