Macaroon Bites
I can't remember where I found this recipe. But it's simple, quick, and yummy!
The whey protein powder seems to make the macaroons more chewy. Cool
15 Total Carbs (mainly from coconut and trace from protein powder)
Ingredients:
1 1/3 Cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1 TBSP Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 TBSP Xylitol
1 3/4 TBSP SF Maple Syrup
3/4 tsp Almond Extract
2 medium Egg Whites
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix ingredients together in a bowl adding each one while mixing in order shown.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased (or PAM sprayed) baking sheet.
These do not spread out so you can put them close together.
This will make 24 cookies from this recipe.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Edges of cookies will be lightly browned when ready.
Remove macaroons from cookie sheet immediately so they don't keep cooking.
Place on paper plates (or whatever) and allow to cool... Enjoy! Grin
