Variations

Want to make these macaroons gluten-free or vegan? We've got you covered!
  • Gluten-Free

    Good news: This recipe is already gluten-free! Just ensure your shredded coconut and other ingredients are certified gluten-free to avoid any cross-contamination.

  • Vegan

    To make these macaroons vegan, simply replace the egg whites with a flaxseed egg. For each egg white, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Also, use sweetened condensed coconut milk instead of regular condensed milk. These substitutions will give you equally delicious, plant-based macaroons 🌱.

Faq

  • Why did my macaroons turn out too dry?

    This usually happens if you bake them for too long. Keep an eye on them in the oven and take them out as soon as the tops turn golden brown.

  • Can I use unsweetened shredded coconut?

    Yes, you can! Just keep in mind that the macaroons may be less sweet, so you might want to adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk.

  • How can I add extra flavor to my macaroons?

    Try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the mixture for a delicious twist.

  • Can I freeze these macaroons?

    Absolutely! You can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Just let them come to room temperature before serving.

  • How do I get my macaroons to be the perfect shape?

    Using a small ice cream scooper or a melon baller can help you form evenly sized, round macaroons.

  • What’s the best way to store these macaroons?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They’re best enjoyed fresh!
