Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground raw cashews (or almond flour)
  • 1 - 1/4 (1.25) cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F.

  2. Grind your cashews into a powder by blending them in a blender or processing them in a food processor. They should be a fine powder. Alternatively, you can use almond flour.

  3. Add your ground cashews, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Batter should be sticky and firm but not too dry.

  4. Form macaroons with hands or with cookie scoop using about 2 tbsp batter for each macaroon. Place side by side on baking sheet.

  5. Bake for 20 minutes. The bottoms should be golden brown and the tops should be a little crispy. The inside should be soft and chewy.

  6. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before enjoying!
