More recipes for you today!
I always like to explore new recipes for Passover, because...well the ol' traditional stuff is pretty yucky (I am looking at you matzo!).
So I made 2 things using this basic macaroon recipe, a macaroon topped fruit crisp, and macaroon cookies. Take your pick, they are both scrumptious! As always, I didn't use sugar, just a combination of Vitafiber and stevia, and since the base is almond flour and coconut, they are gluten-free.
Macaroons traditionally use egg whites, so this recipe isn't vegan. You could try using flax eggs, but I have no idea if that would work. If you just want to make cookies, go for it. Its a big recipe so it will bake a lot! You can add in other things besides chocolate chips, such as dried fruit, if you wish.
Macaroon Recipe
1.5 Cups almond flour
1.5 Cups medium shredded, unsweetened coconut
2/3 Cup finely sliced almonds
1/2 Cup Vitafiber powder
1 tsp Pure stevia powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
4 egg whites from extra large eggs
Stir together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add vanilla and egg whites and stir until dough forms.
Macaroon Topped Fruit Crisp
2/3 of macaroon recipe
1 600g bag frozen blueberries, thawed
1 600g bag frozen mixed fruit (I used a mix of strawberries, peaches, mango and papaya), thawed
2 tbsp Vitafiber powder
1 tsp konjac powder
Stir together fruit with Vitafiber and konjac powder and pour into oven safe baking dish. Top with 2/3 of macaroon dough, spreading it out evenly. Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes, or until fruit is bubbling and top is starting to get golden around the edges. Serve hot or cold.
Chocolate Chip Almond Macaroons
Taking remaining cookie dough and stir in 1/3 cup chocolate chips. Shape into balls and bake on parchment lined baking sheet at 350F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Be careful not to burn. Let cool and keep in air tight container.
If you are celebrating Easter this weekend, I wish you a Happy Easter. I have to work today, tomorrow, and Sunday, but we all have Monday off so we are hoping to fit in a fun family activity. Unfortunately, the it is supposed to rain the next couple days, so that definitely limits our options. Have a happy, healthy weekend whatever your plans!
