Keto Coconut Macaroons
Soft and chewy on the inside, crisp and golden on the outside — these are the perfect coconut macaroons.
They’re delicious plain but even more irresistible drizzled with chocolate.
They also keep well for days, making them the perfect treat to bake ahead or give away during the holidays!
Keto coconut Macaroons are a chewy, delicious, and easy to make cookie recipe with just three simple ingredients and NO condensed milk!
Most macaroon recipes call for condensed milk….thick, viscous and full of sugar! Hardly ketogenic.
Rather, this recipe includes:
- Egg whites. Egg whites are the key to binding the coconut into sweet, chewy, can’t-eat-just-one morsels of deliciousness. I just save the egg yolks for breakfast! You could definitely use liquid egg whites for ease.
- Confectioner’s natural sweetener. These cookies aren’t overly sweet, as an entire batch only calls for 1/3 cup of natural sweetener.
- Pure vanilla extract. This ends up being a predominant flavor in such a simple recipe, so make sure it’s a brand you enjoy!
- Unsweetened flaked coconut. The primary ingredient in this recipe by far! I often use unsweetened coconut flakes in other recipes, but I do think a finer shredded coconut is necessary in this one since it helps hold better in these cookies.
- Melted chocolate. It’s totally optional. HOWEVER, should you want to take these already-delectable cookies to the next level, might I recommend dipping or drizzling them in melted chocolate? Soooo scrumptious! Very reminiscent of a mounds style candy bar.
CJ’S TEST FOLLOW UP:
These macaroons were delicious and I’m not really a coconut fan. However, I really enjoyed the chocolate dip/drizzled versions. One of our daughters ate the rest of them by herself, Sarah was lucky to get any. Enjoy!
