6-Ingredient Vegan Macaroons
Makes – 12
Ingredients
70g desiccated coconut
35g ground almonds
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
50g dark chocolate, melted
Method
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/350F.
Mix the first 5 ingredients in a bowl. The easiest way to shape them is by using a 1 tbsp measuring spoon – pack some of the mixture into the spoon, then tap onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Bake for 10-15 mins or until the tops are golden brown.
Leave to cool completely, then dip in the melted chocolate and drizzle some more chocolate on top. Wait for the chocolate to set, then enjoy!
Great recipe! I am not a huge fan of coconut, it is possible to replace with the same amount of ground almond?
I haven’t tried making them with ground almonds only, so can’t say for sure if it will work! But let me know if you try it 🙂
Can we use coconut flour and almond flour instead of desiccated coconut and ground almonds?
Hi Seema 🙂 I don’t use coconut flour in my recipes as I haven’t been able to get good results in the past using it. So I can’t say for sure if it would work in this recipe ? but if you try it please let me know how it goes!
Can I replace almond flour with coconut flour?
Hi Zeina I haven’t tried it myself, so I can’t be certain. In theory it should work. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! Not a fan of coconut flour ?
Hi! Love your recipes and wanted to try this one out but was wondering what would be a good substitute in your opinion in this recipe. I have almond allergies so wanted to swap it out for something else
Hi Nadia,
These macaroons are divine! Absolutely the best! Even without the chocolate.
However mine becomes a splatter while baking. It spreads and so the thinner edges become brown, while the tops are not.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I’m sorry to hear that! You could chill the macaroons in the fridge for 30 minutes before you bake them, that should help them to stop spreading! Let me know how it goes 🙂
I made these tonight and they’re so delicious!!! Love that it has a small amount of ingredients too. And I had all these in my pantry. Thank you!!!
Yey so glad you liked them 😀 can’t beat few ingredient recipes!
Looks Yammy., i am going try it tommorow ?
Thanks
Hope you enjoyed them 😀
Hello
Can we replace coconut oil with canola oil ou sunflower oil?
Thanks
Hi Roula! Unfortunately canola oil won’t work as it’s too thin and won’t help hold the mixture.
