4 Ingredient No Bake Coconut Macaroons (Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo, Dairy-Free)
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
- 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.
