Two recipes in a ROW? What is this, mah birthday?! Your birthday? Perhaps… all of our birthdays? 😉

Nope! (okay, maybe that’s true for some of you. It’s bound to be someone’s birthday today). Anyway, I’m all excited and sssshh because just yesterday, I shared my favorite gluten free brownies from scratch with you. But I didn’t stop there. Because: EASTER, folks. Easter.

This time of year, so many of you are preparing all the yummy desserts in time for Easter—even with so many of us stuck at home! But what better time to bake, amiright? 😉

This time of year… some of you are craving all the homemade coconut granola bars and Almond Joys, and some of you are straight up craving coconut macaroons.

But. Isn’t there always a but?

Today, we’re gonna prove that vegan + gluten free coconut macaroons DO exist. And they DO taste good! Whoop whoop! But… what do these gluten free macaroons taste like? Glad you asked.

Can I Make this Gluten Free Coconut Macaroons Recipe with Almond Flour?

Instead of going into my usual spiel about how you should not make any substitutes, let me make this short and quick and free from “no’s”! 😉 Use this 4 Ingredient Paleo Coconut Macaroons Recipe instead. I created this recipe specifically around almond flour, so you’ll know exactly what amount to use. 😉

Tools for the Best Gluten Free Macaroons!

Small Coconut Flakes: it’s very, very important that you use small coconut flakes in this recipe. If you use large coconut flakes, shreds or chips, your macaroons will bake into flat, spread-out cookies. This is the brand I use and love!
Food Processor: this is the exact food processor that I use to make everything. It blends like a champ, has lasted through 1,000s of recipe tests, and is super easy to clean and use. I loved it so much that I bought another, just in case they stop making it. Lol.
Coconut Flour: for years, I’ve been asked if there was a grain-free, nut-free alternative to the usual flours in coconut macaroons. I thought, what better flour to use than coconut flour? This simple, healthy ingredient absorbs wet ingredients like woah, and works beautifully in this recipe.
Where to Buy Ingredients: Small Coconut Flakes (do not use large flakes or chips) | Coconut Flour | Coconut Oil | Pure Maple Syrup
