Vegan Macaroons


These macaroons are the perfect quick and easy dessert!

Macaroon Ingredients

-1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
-1 Tablespoons coconut flour
-1/2 coconut milk
-3 Tablespoons agave
-1/4 teaspoon vanilla
-A pinch of salt

Chocolate Drizzle Ingredients

-1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
-1 teaspoon coconut oil

Macaroon Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray or grease with coconut oil.
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
The mixture will be a little watery so you can microwave it for 2 minutes in a microwave safe bowl or cook it on the stove until mixture is less runny and easier to shape into balls.  Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, scoop small balls.
Cook for 15 - 17 minutes or until macaroons are slightly toasted.

While macaroons are cooking, make the chocolate drizzle. 

Chocolate Drizzle Directions:

In a small microwave safe bowl, mix the chocolate chips and coconut oil and microwave 30 minutes at a time until completely melted.  Stir chocolate in between so that the chocolate doesn't overcook.
Alternative: 
In a small pot, mix the chocolate chips and coconut oil and cook on low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.

Place the chocolate in a plastic bag and cut a hole in one corner.

When macaroons are done cooking and cooled, drizzle the chocolate over the macaroons.

Enjoy!
