COCONUT MACAROONS | easy, almost healthy, coconut cookies!

[@Downshiftology]

Who loves that coconut + chocolate combo as much as I do?! 🙋‍♀️ These are great to make as a holiday treat with the family...or all by yourself! Let me know what other sweet treats or dessert recipes you'd like to see me make next! xo - Lisa

[@xiaofengwang9327]

Thanks and waiting for your Macarons recipe video!!!

[@cathydunfee5381]

I wouldn’t be able to eat just one either. Also, i would love a macaron recipe, I think I ate my weight in them when I was in France a couple years ago.

[@Downshiftology]

They are pretty addicting! Also, since they're much lighter than a traditional macaroon 🤩

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Coconut flesh is highly nutritious and rich in fibre, vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous.👍

Love me some coconut macaroons! These look so yum

[@agnesz-k8b]

Just made them. Added lemon zest of one lemon into mine and they are amazing. I’m sure without lemon they are amazing too, I just felt like having something lemony flavour lol ❤

[@mariagalchenko6742]

I would LOVE some recipes on how you make macarons! Thank you for this recipe! Will definitely be giving it a try! 😊

[@Downshiftology]

Will keep that in mind! Hope you enjoy these coconut sweet treats 😊

[@bouchraf.7291]

I've watched your video right after President Macron announced a lock down again, starting tomorrow night (I live in Paris). And I feel better just looking at your macaroons and imaging the pleasure I will have to eat them all when I do them next week-end. Yes, lock down will be a good reason not to share them with anyone! They look delicious, and so easy to do, unlike macarons! So thank you!

[@Sarah-kx9pn]

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for all your advice and great recipes!!! You have been a great inspiration over the last weeks! My 4 year old daughter was just begging me to write to you and ask for your macaron recipe! She'd love to bake those with me as soon as possible 🙂! All the best, Sarah

[@DanielaGarciaHamilton]

Just made these and they are already half gone! Easy to make and tastes like an inverted almond joy candy 😋

[@nancymadsen3834]

Oh those look amazing, I will try them today. And I imagine I will eat the whole batch myself too.

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait to see how yours turns out 😊 They can be very addicting!

[@kaydenevideo]

You have been really bringing it with the new video uploads and recipes! These look so good, quick & simple!

[@DorthyDee]

thanks for the great macaroon recipe. I'm going to dip mine in Organic Raw Cacao Powder mixed with heated Organic Unrefined Cold Pressed Coconut Oil, and a few drops of peppermint oil around the holidays can be added to the Cacao mix . I think this will be a nice alternative. I'm not able to buy chocolate chips because the ingredients list poorly.

[@Downshiftology]

Sounds amazing! I love peppermint so can't wait to see how yours turns out 😊

[@esthercook3086]

Your recipe is amazing.look extremely delicious.You've created a really enticing and delicious dessert.

Hello Lisa ! They remind me of '' rochers congolais'' (sorry i can't translate) which are too sweet for me. Thanks for this helthy recipe that I am trying soon. Greetings from France 🙂

[@Downshiftology]

This one is a much lighter version of traditional macaroons, but just as delicious 😊

[@Beths3v]

This recipe looks amazing... yes please post the recipe for the French version as well! 👩🏻‍🍳🤗

[@ItsRyanTurley]

These look fantastic Lisa! Beautiful and simple. I plan to try Macarons for the first time soon, and would love to see your way of making those. Be well!

[@Downshiftology]

Will keep that in mind! Hope you enjoy these coconut macaroons first 😊

[@CH-kd1un]

Lol that was great😊 I loved the ending. Thank you for the laugh I can’t wait for the other cookie recipe 😋

[@ksciscokid9816]

You hit this one out of the park Lisa , I sometimes add just a hint of mint oil to the chocolate 🍫 yum ☺️

[@aarudra50k70]

I love how relaxing your videos are. The quality is top notch. 🧡

[@yokoskitchen]

I love the idea of dipping macaroons in chocolate! So indulging💕 And the music in the video makes me feel so Halloween🎃🎃

[@Downshiftology]

Happy halloween! I love macaroons plain, but the chocolate definitely takes it one step further 😊

[@rhianabrooke]

I noticed the white pot you used. Is that AllClad as well? I have to say, ever since watching you, I decided to start rebuilding my cookware with AllClad and COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! They are some of my prized possessions! Also, what brand cookie sheets do you use? And your knife?

[@marym.8608]

These turned out so good! I used maple syrup (Same amount) instead of honey

[@Downshiftology]

Glad these came out great! 😊

[@hex.goddess]

Ok, a very good recipe as always. HOWEVER, honey is not the best sweetener to use when it comes to using heat for cooking. Heating honey past the maximum hive temperature of 95 F (35 C) changes honey’s essential composition and degrades its quality - the healthful organic compounds and substances in honey are destroyed by heat. Moreover, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is formed, whose effects on human health are quite questionable. HMF and its derivatives have been confirmed to confer genotoxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, DNA-damaging, organotoxic and enzyme inhibitory effects.

[@jamiecee4960]

One of my favorite Cookies. Of Course dip them in Dark Chocolate. Yummy. I wanna try those Macaron's. Little bit of Dark Chocolate every day is actually good for you. :) Those looked so good.

[@greggjensen5471]

OMG Lisa, when I was a child I gave up cookies for 3 years. When I decided that was long enough my mom who always had some baked desert for dinner asked me what type of cookie I wanted first. Coconut macaroon! You brought back so many wonderful memories with this and dipping in chocolate is a game changer! Thank you for all you do with helping people with their relationship with food!

[@Downshiftology]

Aw, I'm so glad my recipes can bring back a sense of nostalgia 😊

[@myjenniferfaal4619]

Looks delicious 😍😍😍 can't wait to try it. Can I use fresh coconut and grate it myself? I live in Africa and it is difficult to find shredded coconut in a bag but, we have plenty coconut trees 😊😊😊 thank you for sharing 👍

[@aurielashley]

I love how simple and clean these are! Definitely have to try this recipe!

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks Auriel! Can't wait for you to try these 😊

[@ngocdieptran3077]

Early today, just want to thank you for sharing these healthy recipes with us.

[@Downshiftology]

Of course! I hope you enjoy these little bite sized treats this holiday season 😊

[@thebritfix]

Hi Gorgeous, just in time!! My moms birthday is in a few days and she can not control herself around these macaroons lol. I can’t wait to make them. Also I’m still obsessed with your channel after several years ❤️

[@Downshiftology]

What perfect timing! These will be such a great gift for her birthday 😊 Please do send a photo to the Facebook community group when you do make them! Would love to see.

[@Dominkita]

I don't know what I did wrong but mine are catastrophe. I somehow manage to whisk egg whites with honey and they were not liquid but solid foam. when I added coconut it was just mess. :D it sometimes happens, next time I will whisk lightly because they seem really delicious.

[@purposelythriving]

Is it possible to substitute honey with ccnut sugar? As per Ayurveda, honey becomes toxic when heated :/

[@manszeho1051]

Can I put fresh coconut for this recipe? Can’t wait to try it! Healthy and yummy!😋😋😋

[@jayasrireddyyengalareddy347]

Hey hi, i just love ur recipes and cookware u used 🤗may i know where did ubuy that white pot pls? Many thanks for ur videos

[@carolinasousarovers]

Can these be made in cookie shape? Do you think they will turn out ok? Probably less cooking time will be required, no?

[@mmmmmmolly]

Can the honey be replaced with a sweetener? Like erythritol or something that doesn't affect blood sugar levels.

[@joyfuljraven]

Do you think you could substitute the egg or would it fail because you need a custard texture? I was thinking of using apple sauce since it's sweet.

[@VeritechGirl]

Dessert time! ❤️ These will disappear in no time at my house! 😂

[@Downshiftology]

I sure did polish them off myself 😂

[@iolandavoinea1959]

Hi. Can we use crushed nuts instead of coconut flakes? If yes, what ratio of egg whites / crushed nuts?

[@JourneywithChar]

This looks amazing! And so much healthier! I will definitely be making these! I would LOVE for you to make a Macaron recipe! Those are my favorite little treats! Thank you for sharing!

[@Downshiftology]

It's much lighter and a healthier since there's no condensed milk 😊 Can't wait for you to make these Char!

[@josephsf2452]

I used Stevia to replace all that sugar, and you can't tell the difference!!!!!!!!

[@insiya4561]

can I use aquafaba for egg substitute?

[@Downshiftology]

Hi there! I haven't tried using aquafaba as a substitute in this recipe - but that actually might work. The only problem to look out for is if the macaroons will firm up enough. You can also reference my other vegan macaroon recipes which use almond flour here: downshiftology.com/recipes/chocolate-coconut-macaroons/ & downshiftology.com/recipes/lemon-coconut-macaroons/

I made these this weekend and both my husband and daughter loved them. I’m making them again soon. Thank you for your recipe. I’ve never had a macaroon before, but these are a new favorite now.

[@observer698]

The heating at the beginning was to melt the honey, right? what else can be used instead of honey? Maple syrup is too runny, molasses?

@@Downshiftology Thank you dear. No problem, since I'm a true healer. The truth is, the Rockefellers medical system is not honest. Doctors coming forward admitting they were brainwashed.

macaron is the french word for macaroon, look in the dictionary. Coconut macaroons in france are called macaron a noix de coco. macronage is a word invented by americans , it doesn't exist in France.

I liked the description of sweetened condensed milk as the elmers glue of baking - made me laugh because it is so true! Glad to find a recipe that leaves it out as we are dairy free in our home. I am making so many of your recipes for the holidays - thank you!

It's been a while since I made something for my sweet tooth and this one is amazing. I do have one question though 😅 .. how do you come up with your recipes ? Does the idea just poo into your head ? Or do you try it in multiple versions before you make a video?

[@Downshiftology]

I do get inspiration from others, but I definitely test everything before I film and make my own personal tweaks to make it a Downshiftology original 😊

Yes! If you’d like to enjoy these past one week, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to layer parchment paper in between so they don’t stick. To defrost, let it sit out at room temperature to soften before serving.
