Ingredients

3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
3 large egg whites
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
2 oz dairy-free dark chocolate (70%+, optional), melted

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

In a large bowl, stir together 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, 3 large egg whites, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt until the coconut is evenly moistened.
3

Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Press each mound firmly so it holds its shape.
4

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the tops and bottoms are golden brown.
5

Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6

If desired, drizzle or dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons in 2 oz melted dairy-free dark chocolate (70%+, optional). Place on parchment and let the chocolate set before serving.

Questions

Can I make Paleo Coconut Macaroons ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Store it airtight: two to three days at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated. It freezes for up to two months; thaw at room temperature.

Can I halve or double Paleo Coconut Macaroons?

Yes. As written it serves 18. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
