Keto Coconut Macaroons Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 1/2 cup erythritol (or other keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup melted sugar-free chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Equipment:

• Large bowl
• Electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer)
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Spoon

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Set aside the yolks for another use.
3. Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the erythritol while continuing to beat until well combined and glossy.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together the shredded coconut and salt.
5. Gently fold the dry coconut mixture into the beaten egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
6. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
7. Drop tablespoons of the coconut batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each macaroon for spreading.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the macaroons are set.
9. Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cool, drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate chips, if desired.

FAQs:
