Low Carb Coconut Macaroons

The full ingredients list and instructions are found in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. I highly recommend reading the blog post all the way through so that you don’t miss any tips or substitution suggestions, to ensure that you have all the ingredients and equipment required and understand the steps and timings involved.

Coconut macaroons are one of the quickest and easiest dessert cookies that I know how to make.

Thanks to monk fruit sweetener, it’s easy to turn macaroons into low-carb, keto-friendly sweet treats. They’re also gluten-free and dairy-free which makes them ideal for all sorts of dietary requirements.

Not only are they perfect for those dietary needs, but they are also perfect for Passover (I know because my Jewish mother-in-law makes them!).

The low carb coconut macaroons are light and chewy on the inside and crispy golden brown on the outside. They are sure to become one of your all-time favorite snack bites.

Serve them up for afternoon tea or box them up to give as a delicious edible gift.

For an extra special treat, you could dip the bases in melted dark chocolate!

Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe

While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients and equipment needed for this recipe have been linked to Amazon or other stores if available online.

It may not include staple ingredients such as oil, salt, sugar, etc., as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen. The complete list of ingredients with measurements is found in the recipe card.

• Monk Fruit Sweetener
• Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
• Pure Vanilla Extract – always buy good vanilla as it really does make a flavor difference.

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).
