Can I make these keto macaroons without almond flour?

Yes, you can skip the almond flour, but the texture might change a bit. The almond flour helps the cookies hold together and adds a soft bite. If you leave it out, try adding a little more shredded coconut to balance the mix.

How do I store keto macaroons so they stay fresh?

Let them cool completely first, then store them in an airtight container. They stay good at room temperature for 3–4 days, or up to a week in the fridge. You can also freeze them, they thaw quickly and taste just as good.

What sweetener works best in this keto coconut macaroon recipe?

Powdered erythritol or allulose works great for this recipe. They both blend smoothly and don’t leave a weird aftertaste. You can also try monk fruit blends, just make sure whatever you use is powdered so it mixes well.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, mix shredded coconut, almond flour, sweetener, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with a fork or mixer until foamy.
Add egg whites and vanilla to the coconut mix. Stir until fully combined.
Scoop and shape tablespoon-sized mounds. Place on baking sheet.

Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack or plate to finish cooling.

Notes

If mixture feels too dry, add a little extra egg white.
Watch closely in the oven. Coconut can brown fast.
