Coconut macaroons with a lemon twist that is gluten-free and low-carb:
Lemon Coconut Macaroons (Gluten-Free, Low-Carb)
Ingredients:
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup erythritol or any preferred low-carb sweetener
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1-2 lemons)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut flour, erythritol, and salt. Mix well.
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy. Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Combine Ingredients:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is sticky. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a little more lemon juice or water, a teaspoon at a time, until it holds together when pressed.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small mounds or balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown around the edges.
Cool:
Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:
Enjoy your lemon coconut macaroons as a delightful, guilt-free treat!
Tips:
Make sure the egg whites are well whisked to help the macaroons hold their shape.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sweetener.
For an extra lemony flavor, you can drizzle the cooled macaroons with a simple lemon glaze made from powdered erythritol and lemon juice.
These lemon coconut macaroons are not only delicious but also a perfect treat for those following a gluten-free or low-carb diet.
