Author Notes
I'm a lover of macaroons...I came across the raw macaroon, Hail Merry, at a store and instead of paying the money for the few that I was able to get in a package, I improvised and came up with my own recipe. They have continually been a huge crowd pleaser, and with the use of Maple Syrup and other healthy ingredients...they make a great treat for all occassions, and kids love them too! —Julia Reid

Ingredients
-
1 cup
organic almond flour
-
1 cup
organic shredded unsweetened coconut
-
4 tablespoons
Grade B Maple Syrup
-
1 teaspoon
organic almond flavoring
-
1/4 teaspoon
organic vanilla flavoring
-
1 dash
kosher salt
Directions
-
Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together with a spoon until well blended.
-
I take as much mixture that will fill a plastic scoop (approximately 1 firmly packed tablespoon), and once pressed firmly in the scoop, I gently tap it out onto my hand and place on a plate. It will hold the form of whatever you've pressed it into. Continue with this step until all of mixture has been formed into delectable bite-size macaroons!
-
Refrigerate in an airtight container once made, to preserve freshness...enjoy!
A note to strict raw foodies...maple syrup is not raw...but it is the most delicious and I can't suggest any more delectable way to make these.
-
If variations are desired...you can dip in chocolate, add cinnamon, macadamia nuts, strawberries, or cherries, as I found out in Rawmazing.
