4 Ingredient No Bake Coconut Macaroons (V, GF): a one bowl recipe for perfectly sweet no bake macaroons bursting with coconut flavor. Paleo, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.

Ahh… Mondays. Don’t they call for something sweet? Don’t they basically NEED something sweet? Ya know, to soften the blow of it being Monday.

And if that sweet something is super, ridiculously easy to make and comes together in just a few minutes?

EVEN BETTER.

You can even skip the baking involved in my 4 Ingredient Paleo Coconut Macaroons Recipe. ‘Cuz sometimes, ain’t nobody got time for baking (esp on Mondays).

So gather ‘round, all of my fellow No Bake Lovers’. I have something truly special for you: 4 Ingredient No Bake Coconut Macaroons.

Yep, I said it. No Bake. Coconut Macaroons. Woot woot! They’re just the perfect way to kick of a sweet week, full of easy wins. (Here’s hoping!) My mom, the official Coconut Expert on the Beaming Baker team, has already deemed these4 ingredient no bake coconut macaroons sooooo good, so wonderfully cool and satisfying, and just perfect for the summer.

And if mama likes them, then they’re friggin GOLD. (Man… I don’t know what it is about Mondays that has me shouting…) .

These coconut macaroons are made with just four ingredients, including: coconut, coconut oil, maple syrup and almond flour. The almond flour is really the trick to keeping these babies together. We’ve kicked out all the junk involved in traditional coconut macaroons and replaced them with only the good stuff. So…

no condensed milk
no egg whites
no powdered sugar
no dairy
no guilt
no baking!!!!

Just add everything to a food processor, blend, blend a bit more, scrape the processor down, blend a tad more, then scoop and drop onto a prepared baking sheet/plate and chill. Before you ask, here’s the food processor that I use. 😉 Lots of folks have been asking on Instagram, but it’s kinda hard to do the whole link thing there… bugger!

That’s all, folks. And that’s what I call a Monday WIN.

They’re BURSTING with coconut flavor, the perfect balance between soft and dense and so incredible when chilled (think: ice cream bon bons, but minus the ice cream… okay, forget I said that!! Hehe).

In case you’re hankering for more, more, MORE coconut, try these coconut recipes on for size (of course, totally approved by the Beaming Baker Coconut Expert aka my mama):

I’ll grab the coconut, you grab the cookie scoop. Let’s no bake this! It’s such a joy to bake and share in these wonderful kitchen adventures with you. I seriously can’t wait to hear what you think.

Description

4 Ingredient No Bake Coconut Macaroons (V, GF): a one bowl recipe for perfectly sweet no bake macaroons bursting with coconut flavor. Paleo, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ¼ cups small, unsweetened coconut, shreds or flakes (I used Anthony’s gluten-free small coconut flakes)*
¼ cup finely ground, blanched almond flour
3 tablespoons coconut oil, solid or melted
¼ cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside for later.
Add all ingredients (coconut, almond flour, oil and maple syrup) to a food processor. Small coconut flakes are preferable, since large flakes will result in moister and softer macaroons. Here are the gluten-free small coconut flakes that I use.
Blend until you get a wet and sticky mixture, with smaller, but still noticeable coconut pieces. If any maple syrup remains at the bottom of the processor, fold into dough until well mixed.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop firmly packed balls of coconut mixture. Here are the 1-tablespoon cookie scoop and 2-tablespoon cookie scoop I use. Drop onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space balls evenly apart.
Place baking sheet into the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until cookies are firm. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Notes

– *Small coconut flakes are best for this recipe, but large coconut flakes will work too. With the large coconut flakes, the macaroons will be more moist and soften quicker at room temperature. Keep them in the refrigerator.
– Storing instructions: the first day, macaroons are best kept in the refrigerator. After that, macaroons are fine to store at room temperature (if you used small coconut flakes). Always store in an airtight container, in a cool, dark environment.
– If freezing, store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container for up to 1-2 months. Allow to thaw for 10-15 minutes before enjoying.
