Egg White Coconut Macaroons

Ok- so I don't really love to bake, but I do love sweets. It is super hard to find gluten free/healthy versions of desserts, even in NYC, where I live. Often times, the bakeries will have one or two GF offerings and they are usually chocolate-I am not a chocolate person. 

Anyway-check out my easy GF/DF macaroons below-perfect for Rosh Hashanah coming up-the holiday for sweet foods! 

Coconut Macaroons

Aren't these Anthro measuring
cups just gorgeous?

Ingredients:
3 cups sweetened coconut flakes
6 egg whites (use real egg whites here-not liquid egg whites)
1/2 cup oats (steel cut or instant)
1/2 cup organic honey
1 tbsp vanilla
1/4 tbsp of salt (kosher or sea salt works just fine here)








Directions

*Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

1- Use a hand mixer to mix egg whites & sea salt (6-8 minutes until stiff peaks form)
2- Incorporate honey & vanilla, continuing to beat with hand mixer
3- Add coconut 1 cup at a time, folding into egg white, salt, honey & vanilla mixture
4- Use a small spoon to form tablespoon size cookies onto a parchment or silicone lined sheet pan
5- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until macaroons are golden brown 

 Note: If your mixtures seems to liquidy, use your judgement to add 1/4 cup of (GF) flour at a time to thicken up your batter
