    This blog post and Chocolate Coconut Macaroons recipe are sponsored by SunButter®! All opinions and experiences are my own.

    Have you ever made macaroons at home? You've got to give them a try — these delicate coconut cookies are surprisingly easy to make!

    This version is paleo, gluten free, low carb, nut free, and dairy free. Plus, I fold in Sunbutter to make a peanut-allergy-friendly chocolate "PB" creation.

    How to make coconut macaroons

    Trust me, these chocolate coconut macaroons are easy! They've only got 5 main ingredients to worry about.

    The most important step of this recipe is whisking the egg whites. Warm up, because you're going to be putting some muscle into these!

    Whisk until the egg whites are light, frothy, and fluffy. If you've ever whipped egg whites to soft peaks, this is the stage BEFORE that. We're not quite making a meringue here.

    Truly, the hardest part is whipping the egg whites! Once you've got them fluffed up, add the rest of the ingredients and mix until smooth. Then, drop large spoonfuls onto a pachment paper-lined baking sheet, pop 'em in the oven for 12 minutes — and you're done!

    Description

    Crisped on the outside and chewy in the middle, these rich Chocolate Coconut Macaroons have a hint of nut butter flavor thanks to SunButter!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 5 large egg whites
    • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
    • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
    • ½ cup cocoa
    • ¼ cup No Sugar Added Sunbutter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Add egg whites and honey to a medium bowl. Whisk vigorously until the egg whites and sweetener are fully blended and egg whites have grown frothy and fluffy. Fold in the coconut, cocoa powder, SunButter, vanilla extract, and sea salt, mixing gently until smooth.
    3. Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter onto the lined baking sheet, separating by about 1 inch. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool completely before eating. Macaroons will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for a day or two, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
