Ingredients
  

2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

2 large egg whites

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup dark chocolate (sugar-free), for optional drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). For easier cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, erythritol, and sea salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all dry ingredients are well blended and evenly distributed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, melted coconut oil, pure vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and frothy.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir until the two mixtures are fully combined. The batter should be sticky yet firm enough to retain its shape.

          Shape the Macaroons: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small mounds about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place each mound on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about an inch of space between them to allow for expansion during baking.

            Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the macaroons for 15-18 minutes, or until they develop a light golden brown color on top.

              Cool: Once baking is complete, remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. After that, transfer the macaroons to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you wish to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Once melted, use a fork or a piping bag to drizzle the chocolate over the cooled macaroons.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Indulge in your delicious tropical bliss coconut almond macaroons, a perfect keto-friendly treat or dessert! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to a week.
