Almond Coconut Macaroons

Almond Coconut Macaroons – With a Twist!

These coconut macaroons are yet another one of our recipes from Always Delicious. This grain-free cookie recipe uses almond flour and shredded coconut to make a tasty melt-in-your-mouth treat. This recipe can be adapted in a few different ways to add in your favorite sweet mix-ins.

• Cinnamon-coconut macaroons: Add 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the recipe.
• Dark chocolate drizzle: Drizzle the macaroons with melted dark chocolate.
• Coconut-almond crunch: Add some crushed nuts/seeds to the batter OR to the top of the macaroons.
• Nut-butter filled: Add a small amount of nut butter to the center of each cookie.
• Fruity: Add 1/2 cup of fresh berries, 1 mashed banana (P2/3), OR 1/4 cup dried fruit (P2/3) to the recipe. The added banana or dried fruit would make this recipe closer to Phase 3 due to the honey AND added phase 2 slow carbohydrate.

Chef Kenzie’s Twist: Try adding a few slivered almonds and pairing with a side of Chai (or whatever tea you love). Add a bit of whipping cream to your tea and dip the cookie inside. What a delicious way to finish off the night or re-energize yourself for the rest of the afternoon.
