Raw Chocolate Macaroons
This is a great recipe from a site called Happy Foody. We’ve altered it a bit to make it our own. Enjoy!

Raw Chocolate Macaroons
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups dried unsweetened coconut flakes
1 1/2 cups cocoa powder (you don’t have to use exactly this much, just however rich you want them to be. You can even use 3/4 cups cocoa and be fine.)
1 cup raw honey or raw agave nectar
1/3 cup coconut oil
1-2 tbs. raw peanut butter (if desired)
1 tbs vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt
DIRECTIONS:
Mix together. Wet your hands so they don’t stick to your hands, and then form into balls. Put them in the freezer until hardened, at least 30 minutes. MMMM! Some of us think these taste like frozen Bon Bons!
Peanut Butter & Cinnamon Macaroons:
Everything the same as above, but add raw organic peanut butter and a few sprinkles of cinnamon. This makes them extra tasty! Just remember if you use roasted peanut butter, they will no longer be “raw”.
Raw “Blondie” Macaroons:
Everything the same as above, except substitute 1 1/2 cups almond meal for the cocoa powder.
any recommendation for a coconut substitute, due to allergies?
also, just curious how the original recipe is considered raw if it calls for 1-2 tbs. of peanut butter?
thanks!
Thanks for finding the error. We meant to put Raw Peanut Butter – it’s been edited. As for the coconut allergy, you could try to substitute almond meal for the shredded coconut in the recipe, but we’ve never tried it. Since it’s a macaroon recipe, not sure how it would work without the coconut. We’ve got lots of other yummy dessert recipes though that don’t have coconut in them – try the raw apple pie!

I’ll show this to my sister, she digs raw chocolate. Have you tried Chocolate Bliss?
I love anything to do with raw chocolate
