Coconut Macaroons {Keto, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Vegan, Dairy Free}

I am so excited to share my version of a classic coconut macaroon. These babies are lightly sweet and contain no flour or sugar at all.

Or gluten, animal products (vegan) or grains if you are counting.

But besides all of that, they taste crazy delicious, super pretty and are so simple to make. The best part is that look fancy but really they are ridiculously easy.

And might I say that they are pretty enough to give out as holiday gifts. I love homemade holiday gifts, don't you?

I always say all of my treats are baked with love and I think people really appreciate that. These taste even better with my Apple Chai Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even my Spiked Apple Cider.

Why You Should Make These Coconut Macaroons

These macaroons are made with a just a few simple ingredient that you most likely already have in your house. You might have to go out and get the Monk fruit which you might not have already, but you can easily buy that from Amazon.

The remaining ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

Just make sure you buy unsweetened coconut, many of them are loaded with a ton of extra, unnecessary sugar. Just another friendly reminder to always read your labels.

I added the coconut extract as optional because if you don't have it, it isn't crucial to the flavor. But it does add a little more extra coconut flavor and it even enhances the flavor of he shredded coconut if you want to give it a try.

That's why I love amazon, just order it and it will be here in a few days!

These delicious sugar free coconut macaroons are perfect with your morning coffee or Apple Chai Latte or a sweet treat after dinner or with your Spiked Apple Cider!

Recipe Ingredients

• Unsweetened shredded coconut - Well obviously these coconut macaroons are going to contain coconut! Make sure to read the ingredients, many shredded coconut varieties contain added sugars. I always buy the packages that say unsweetened shredded coconut.
• Monk Fruit - I used granular Monk fruit (which also contains another natural sugar alternative, erythritol) in these coconut macaroons because this is what I use for all of my sugar free baking. Monk fruit is a natural sugar free alternative to sugar. There are no calories and it doesn't raise your insulin levels.
• Coconut extract - I made this optional because it all depends on how coconut-y you want your macaroons to taste. I absolutely love baking and cooking with extracts because they are so flavorful but also gluten free and sugar free too. I use this coconut extract all the time.
• Coconut oil - I use refined coconut oil which has very little coconut taste (Yes, I know it's not a popular opinion but I don't like the taste of coconut!) The only issue is that refined coconut oil has less antioxidants and vitamins than the virgin coconut oil (as well as a higher smoke points which is good to remember for baked goods) so if you like the taste of coconut, then you can easily use virgin coconut oil.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder - Make sure you read your labels again here. Do not buy drinking cocoa or regular cocoa powder because they will contain unnecessary sugar and ingredients we don't want. The ingredient labels should only say 100% cocoa and nothing else.
