Gluten Free Coconut Macaroon Food

VEGAN COCONUT MACAROONS {GLUTEN-FREE}

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add all the ingredients (except for the chocolate) to a large bowl and mix until fully incorporated. The mixture should form a sticky consistency.
• Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and form small balls. Make sure to pack tightly so that the macaroons do not fall apart while baking. Place the coconut macaroons on the baking sheet.
• Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. When the macaroons are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
• If you are making chocolate-dipped macaroons, melt the chocolate using the double boil method or microwave method (described above). Dip the macaroons into the melted chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them in the fridge for 5-8 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
• Enjoy!

GLUTEN FREE COCONUT MACAROONS RECIPE (DAIRY-FREE, EGG-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
• Add all ingredients to the food processor, making sure to spread flakes and flour evenly through the bin of the processor. Make sure to use small coconut flakes, as large ones will result in flat, spread out cookies. Here are the small coconut flakes that I use.
• 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. If any maple syrup remains at the bottom of the processor, fold into dough until well mixed.
• Using a small or 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; medium ones will take about 11-13 minutes. 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.

GLUTEN-FREE DARK CHOCOLATE DIPPED COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Soak the dates in hot water for 30 minutes, then drain and dry.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move a rack to the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the dates and bananas in a food processor. Blend until the consistency is a smooth paste. In a medium bowl, combine the banana-date mixture with the coconut and mix until fully incorporated. Using a spoon and your hands, lightly form 12 to 14 small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until golden brown on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes, cool.
• Microwave the chocolate chips for 45 seconds, stirring halfway through. Dip the cooled macaroons in the chocolate and return to the baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the eggs whites (cold) in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vanilla and salt. With the machine running slowly add the maple sugar until dissolved and the egg white mixture becomes stiff (just like a meringue).
• Fold in the melted butter and the coconut shreds, gently stir to combine.
• Using a small ice cream scoop, drop the batter in mounds 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, until golden brown, approximately 18-20 minutes; let cool completely.
• In a double boiler on the stove, melt the chocolate chips with 2 tbsp plant milk stirring until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate on top of the macaroons.

COCONUT MACAROONS

• Whisk 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 beaten egg whites, 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in 2 2/3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut. Drop by tablespoonfuls, then form into pyramids with your fingers and bake 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

VEGAN MACAROONS (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Place the desiccated coconut, coconut oil, agave syrup and vanilla in a food processor.
• Whizz for around 30 seconds to a minute, until coconut becomes more fine and sticks together when you take a small amount in your hands.
• Add the baking powder and pulse briefly to combine.
• Place in the fridge for 10 minutes (or longer) to allow the mixture to firm up slightly - this will make it easier to form into macaroons.
• Use a cookie scoop to scoop the mixture (make sure the mixture is closely packed together inside the cookie scoop) onto a baking tray lined with baking paper (you should be able to make 18 macaroons).
• Bake in the oven for 6-7 minutes until golden brown - be careful to make sure they don't burn.
• Dip the bottoms in melted chocolate and drizzle over melted chocolate if desired - make sure the chocolate has hardened completely before putting away to store.
• Keeps in an airtight container for a few days.

VEGAN COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F (162 °c) and line a baking tray with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• To a medium sized mixing bowl, add the coconut, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir together really well.
• Gradually add the coconut milk, stirring as you go until the mixture is wet enough that you can squeeze it together in your hand and it stays mostly in one piece. You might not need all of the milk.
• With an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop that holds about 2 - 2½ tablespoons, scoop out the mixture, and press it in really tightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon or spatula to compact it. Then dollop it out gently onto the lined baking tray.
• Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool on the tray.
• Optional - See recipe notes for how to dip in chocolate.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 300°F.
• Combine ingredients: Stir together coconut, almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla and sea salt in a medium sized bowl.
• Form macaroons: Use a Tablespoon or cookie scoop to scoop batter onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake: Bake for 20-22 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool - they will firm up as they cool so wait about 15 minutes or so before serving or dipping in chocolate.
• Melt chocolate: If adding melted chocolate, add chips to a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 30 seconds and stir. If chips aren't melted, heat for another 10 seconds or so. If the chocolate seems too thick after melting you can add a teaspoon of melted coconut oil to thin it out.
• Drizzle chocolate: Drizzle chocolate over each macaroon.
• Set: Place macaroons in the fridge/freezer for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Store any leftover macaroons in the fridge for later.

COCONUT MACAROON RECIPE WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Pour the blanched almonds into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the almonds until finely chopped. Add half of the coconut to the food processor and pulse together with the almonds until chopped.
• Pour the coconut and almond mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add all remaining coconut, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract and vanilla. Fold together using a wooden spoon or stiff spatula until combined.
• In a separate bowl combine the egg whites and salt. Using an electric mixer beat the egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form. The egg whites should still be slightly foamy.
• Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until blended taking care not to deflate.
• Using an ice cream scoop (about 1 3/4-inch in diameter) drop packed mounds (about 45g each) of the coconut mixture onto one of the prepared baking sheets, about 1-inch apart. The cookies won't spread so no worries. Bake immediately for 22 to 27 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom and lightly brown on top. Cool completely on a wire rack then serve or decorate with chocolate.
• If adding whole almonds on top of the cookies lightly press the almond on top before baking.

COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. (We prefer the silicone for the crispy edges and caramelization that occurs with these cookies.)
• Lightly whisk the egg and egg white in a medium bowl until a bit frothy. Whisk in the rum and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the coconut.
• Using about 2 tablespoons per macaroon, mound the mixture on the baking sheet, leaving some space in between each one. Bake until the edges are golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Cool, then use a small offset spatula to remove them from the baking sheet. The macaroons will keep in an airtight container for 5 days.
