Low carb sugar free macaroons


INGREDIENTS

4 egg whites
2 tbs stevia
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut

INSTRUCTIONS

Clean a large bowl with kitchen paper to ensure it is free of grease or oil, otherwise your egg whites won't whisk well. Whisk the egg whites with the stevia, to form stiff peaks.

Add the vanilla and the coconut and gently mix to combine.

Line a baking tray with a non stick liner or baking paper. Roll a spoonful of macaroon mixture into a small firm ball and place evenly on the baking tray.

Bake at 180C for10-12 minutes depending on your oven and the humidity.

These look delicious! I wonder if you could add a bit of unsweetened cocoa for a chocolate version.

Hi Janice, I don't think there's any reason you can't use cocoa, I've used it in other recipes.

Cheers
