Tips & Handy Tools for the Best Keto Coconut Macaroons
- Low Carb Keto Honey – I’m telling you, when Erik and I went keto, we were out of our minds looking for a low carb sweetener that was thick, delicious and sweet. This IS IT. It’s so incredibly good. We’ve tried keto maple syrups of all kinds, keto honeys, low carb syrups, and this one is my favorite. More importantly, we tested this keto macaroons recipe with a number of keto sweetener and this one yielded the best results. I would not advise freely swapping this ingredient for another keto sweetener—you may end up with flat, spread out cookies, or just plain old inedible macaroons.
- Small Coconut Shreds – I can’t emphasize how important it is that you use small coconut flakes in this recipe. If you use large coconut flakes, you will end up with large, flat, spread out coconut cookies. And, nope, unfortunately you can’t just blend up large coconut flakes and use that instead. <– I tried. (and failed!). Make sure to use small coconut flakes that resemble grains of rice or sprinkles. They should be very, very tiny.
- My Favorite Food Processor – I love this food processor because it’s easy to use, easy to clean, super affordable and reliable. What more could ya need? You can easily add all of your keto macaroons ingredients into this processor and blend with ease.
- Coconut Flour – for years, folks have been asking me to create a keto coconut macaroon recipe with coconut flour. Makes sense, right? Well, it’s a tad trickier than you’d think! Now that it’s all sorted out, remember to grab a bag of coconut flour so you can make these macaroons.
- Medium Cookie Scoop – my favorite cookie scoop of all time. And super essential to creating the tightly-packed scoops of keto macaroon dough. Sturdy, reliable and easy to use.
So whaddya think? Are these low carb keto coconut macaroons totally worth the hype? Try them out and be blown away. No one will know that they’re low carb or keto. Woot woot! Be sure to comment if you try my recipe—you know I absolutely love hearing from you. Thank you so much for stopping by & sharing in these warm & cozy kitchen moments with me and your loved ones. ‘Til the next kitchen adventure…
Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️

Description
Keto Coconut Macaroons Recipe: this 4 ingredient keto macaroons recipe is gluten free & easy to make! The best Low Carb coconut macaroons—chewy & moist inside, crispy golden exterior.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened small coconut shreds or flakes – do not use large coconut flakes, as cookies will spread*
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons solid or slightly softened coconut oil
- 1/4 cup keto honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- Add small coconut shreds and coconut flour to the food processor. Give the bin a shake to create a smooth, even layer. Make sure to use small coconut shreds, as large ones will result in flat, spread out cookies.
- Add solid coconut oil and keto honey to the food processor.
- Blend until you get a thick and sticky mixture that holds together, with smaller, but still noticeable coconut pieces. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed. The keto honey is very thick and sticky, so you’ll need to use a bit of arm muscle to scrape it off the walls of the food processor.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop firmly-packed balls of coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space balls evenly apart. Cookies will inflate and enlarge just a bit as they bake.
- Bake for 12-16 mins, until golden around the edges and slightly golden on top. Mine took 14 mins for large ones. Place baking sheet onto a cooling rack and allow cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes, until firm. Using a heatproof spatula, transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack to cool completely, about 30 mins-1 hour. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Where to Buy Ingredients: Keto Honey | Coconut Flour | Small Coconut Shreds
*You must use small coconut shreds for this recipe. The coconut flakes should be the size of sprinkles, or about half a grain of rice. I used these small coconut shreds for this recipe (click the link to see detailed photos). Large coconut flakes will result in flat, spread out cookies (not the round macaroons you see in the pictures).

These were such a treat and I love that they were healthier even though they didn’t taste it. So good!
That’s what I like to hear! 🙂 So glad you enjoyed them Ginny!
Wow these look terrific. Demeter, would it work to dip these in a keto-esque chocolate like melted Lily’s chocolate chips? Or do you think from the oil content of the coconut that it would slide off? Thanks again for another winning recipe!
Hi Lisalia, thank you for saying so! 🙂 Yes, dipping these keto macaroons in Lily’s chocolate chips would work great! They’re not greasy, so the chocolate will be fine. Happy baking love!
