These Easy Lemon Coconut Macaroons are the best Spring bite. Made with just 7 ingredients, they take less than 30 minutes from start to finish and are loaded with chewy coconut flakes and the perfect lemon zing!

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups finely shredded unsweetened coconut flakes (not the long pieces but short ones, also called desiccated coconut)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream*
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a food processor, blend together finely shredded unsweetened coconut flakes and almond flour.
  • Add in remaining ingredients until well combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop and place on a parchment lined baked tray. Recipe should yield about 20 - 24 bites.
  • Bake at 350F for 13-16 minutes or until tops and bottom have started to brown (going to depend on your oven). Let cool on tray before handling.
  • Optional: once cooled, top with coconut butter, chia seeds, and additional fresh lemon zest.
