Coconut Lime Macaroons (vegan, paleo)
Servings 12
Coconut lime macaroons that have chewy centers and crisp outsides. They're paleo and vegan but taste just as good as traditional macaroons.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons (80 grams) coconut butter NOT coconut oil! Please weigh this as it's hard to measure correctly and different brands vary quite a bit
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lime zest I needed 2 limes
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups (120 grams) shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix together everything except the coconut. Stir frequently until everything is melted and well combined. Remove from the heat.5 tablespoons (80 grams) coconut butter, 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) maple syrup, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Stir in the coconut, lime zest and lime juice. Let the mixture sit for 30-60 minutes at room temperature.1 1/2 cups (120 grams) shredded unsweetened coconut
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C) and line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop (the scoop is important so they have the right shape – if you don't care about the shape, you can roll them into balls and flatten slightly with your palm) to form 12 25-gram balls. Place at least 2" apart of the cookie sheet. If any bigger bits of coconut are sticking out, pat them down so that they don't burn.
- Bake for 21-23 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned. Let cool on the cookie sheet and let cool completely before storing in an airtight container. They should stay good for up to 4 days.
