Macaroons!!!! :)

I made these great macaroons today! So delicious!! Some might consider them raw, some might not (with the debate about agave). But here is the recipe:

Raw-ish Macaroons:

Ingredients:
  • 2.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup agave
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil /or coconut butter
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions: Easiest directions ever. Mix all ingredients together. Form into balls and put onto parchment paper. Now put it in fridge. Wait at least 1 hour. If you want to the chocolate coated version, melt some dark chocolate and roll the balls in them. Put in fridge again.









This is the chocolate that I highly recommend. I didn't have enough to coat all the macaroons because I ate most of the bar!
