Raw Macaroons Three Ways!

Basic Macaroon Recipe

• 2 cups dried coconut (unsweetened)
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup*
• 1/4 cup agave (or other liquid sweetener of choice)
• 1 vanilla bean
• pinch sea salt

1. Mix all ingredients together. For vanilla, use recipe as is.

*Maple syrup is not considered raw. You can substitute agave but the macaroons will not have the same consistency.

Cinnamon Macadamia Macaroons

add to basic recipe:

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

Strawberry Macaroons

add to basic recipe:

• 1/2 cup chopped strawberries (I did this in the food processor)*

Assembly

1. Drop in 1 tablespoon mounds on dehydrator screens.
2. Dehydrate for 1 hour at 145, then for 12 to 20 hours (depends on how moist you want your centers) at 115.

*The strawberry macaroons should be refrigerated in an airtight container.
