Equipment

  • hand whisk or food mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 50 g desiccated coconut
  • 1 egg white
  • Few drops vanilla or almond extract

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat the oven to 150 degrees. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
  • Mix the coconut, honey and vanilla extract in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form. (You should be able to tip the bowl and the egg white will keep its shape.)
  • Add the egg white to the coconut mixture, and gently fold together.
  • Using 2 teaspoons, place 6 heaps of mixture onto the baking sheet, with space between each. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove from the tray once cool, and store in an airtight tin.

Notes

  • If you prefer you can substitute the same amount of maple syrup for the honey. Or if you want very low carb macaroons, use a natural sweetener such as stevia.  
  • To make the macaroons look extra pretty, drizzle with a little melted dark chocolate once they have cooked down.
