Air Fryer Keto Coconut Macaroons Recipe
Equipment
- Spoon or cookie scoop
- Parchment paper
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1/2 cup Erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- a pinch Salt
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and almond flour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold in the erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until well combined.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small balls or pyramids and place them on a parchment-lined plate.
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Once heated, place the macaroons in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they’re not touching. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove the macaroons from the air fryer and let them cool on a cooling rack.
- Make sure your macaroons are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Air fryers can vary, so keep an eye on the macaroons towards the end to prevent over-browning.
- If by some miracle they’re not all gobbled up immediately, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
