Raw Coconut Macaroons


As Lynn mentioned in her post (below) I sent her some of these but was naughty and didn't include the recipe-so here it is! It's in cups as it's another American one, and I have bought myself the mini cup-measurers so I never need to translate into grams before starting a recipe again. Nice for me, but I've tried to work it out anyway so you can make these yourselves. Very coconutty and sweet, but raw, so presumably that makes them healthy-right? Either way, they are very quick to make and easy to grab as a snack when you need a "healthy" hit of sweet.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup pecan flour (or almond flour)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup raw organic honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
Method:
  1. Combine your coconut, pecan flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl and mix well
  2. Add in your pumpkin, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla and stir well until all ingredients have been evenly incorporated
  3. Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon and scoop rounded balls onto a plate or cookie sheet
  4. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour to solidify
  5. Store in the freezer or refrigerator and serve cold
