No-Bake Raw Coconut Macaroons
I love making raw treats for my family. The health benefits of coconut really come through without a lot of extra sugar.
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened coconut
- 2 ½ tablespoon coconut oil you can use refined or unrefined
- ¼ teaspoon pink salt or sea salt
- 3 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoon maple syrup
- 4 teaspoon coconut flour or almond flour Buy organic coconut flour here
Instructions
- In a small saucepan or skillet melt coconut oil.
- Turn heat off and whisk in salt, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- In your Nutri-Bullet or food processor place coconut and almond flour.
- Pour in melted coconut mix so that all ingredients are in your Nutri-bullet (a blender would also work)
- Blend until it comes together and all ingredients are incorporated.
- Place the blended mix in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let it cool a little. This will make it easier to squeeze balls together.
- Press about a tablespoon at a time into balls and place them on a plate.
- If it's cool in your kitchen you can let them harden at room temperature. If it's warm in your kitchen place them into the fridge to harden. (In my opinion, the texture is better at room temperature)
- Drizzle with homemade chocolate if desired. You can get the chocolate topping recipe in the recipe notes below.
- You could also roll in crushed nuts, cacao powder, etc...
