# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prepares your workspace for baking delicious Easy 3-Ingredient Keto Coconut Macaroons.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup keto granulated sweetener, 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, and 1 tsp fresh lemon zest. Stir well to ensure even distribution of flavors for your Easy 3-Ingredient Keto Coconut Macaroons.
03 -
In a separate, clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with 1/4 tsp cream of tartar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix.
04 -
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp almond extract, mixing until just combined. This creates the perfect base for your Easy 3-Ingredient Keto Coconut Macaroons.
05 -
Using a 1.5-inch cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each. You should get approximately 16 macaroons.
06 -
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the macaroons are set. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before handling. Enjoy your perfectly baked Easy 3-Ingredient Keto Coconut Macaroons.
07 -
If desired, melt 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips with 1 tsp refined coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip the cooled macaroons or drizzle with chocolate, then sprinkle with 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt.
08 -
For a sweet glaze, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered keto sweetener, 2 tbsp full-fat canned coconut milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Drizzle over cooled macaroons.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overmix the coconut mixture after adding egg whites; gentle folding keeps the macaroons tender and moist.
02 -
Store Easy 3-Ingredient Keto Coconut Macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
03 -
For a different flavor, try adding a few drops of orange extract instead of almond, or a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice note.
04 -
These macaroons are delicious on their own, or pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful keto-friendly treat.
