Thank you to all of you that came out for the paleo potluck. There was lots of delicious food, drinks and entertainment. I was very impressed by the variety of foods displayed on Saturday night…I had began to think that none of you cooked since I haven’t received any recipes. Please don’t be shy, send away! My fridge is getting very full. You can fire me an email at jennifersbeach@gmail.com.
I made these delcioius treats for the party. But I will have to stay Viki’s blue balls had me beat!
Coconut Macaroons
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup coconut ribbons (or 1 more cup shredded coconut if you can’t find ribbons)
- 6 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp celtic salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup- I used blackberry honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- In large bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form
- Add salt, vanilla and maple syrup and stir until just combined
- Stir in coconut
- Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls on parchment line baking sheet
- The mixture may fall apart slightly so using your finger tips, press the mixture back together into tight little mounds, creating a slight peak at the top if you can
- Bake in preheated 325 oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned
- Remove and cool on wire rack
