{Eggless} Coconut Macaroons
We are big coconut lovers in our house and these super simple coconut macaroons are one of our favorites!
Ted has a huge sweet tooth so I made these for him to take on a business trip so he had something to snack on. They only require a few ingredients and you don’t even need eggs!
In a mixing bowl, stir 1/4 cup flour withΒ 5 1/4 cups of shredded coconut.
ThisΒ helps the sweetened condensed milk stick better to the coconut and keeps themΒ from spreading in the oven.
Stir 2 tsp vanilla extractΒ IN the can of sweetened condensed milk. It’s much easier to stir the extract in this way than separately with the coconut.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the coconut mixture. Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
I recommend refrigerating the macaroon mixture for 10-20 minutes so it isn’t incredibly sticky to work with but you don’tΒ haveΒ to ifΒ you don’t want to wait! I won’t judge you π
Using a small or medium ice cream scoop, drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a very greased baking sheet or silicone mat. Parchment paper would be great too! You can shape them a bit if you’d like before popping them in the oven. If the ice cream scoop gets too sticky and won’t release the coconut, just spray it with some cooking spray.
Bake for about 9-10 minutes or until the coconut starts to turn golden brown on the edges.
They are SUPER addictive. No joke. Once you eat one you can’t help but grab some more! Everyone I give these to always wants the recipe. This time, I made them even better by drizzling melted chocolate on top of them. Mmmm chocolate makes everything taste better. Just melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a bowl using the microwave in 30 second intervals until fully melted. Drizzle over macaroons using a spoon.

This is the perfect Indulgence for me- Love Coconut and Chocolate , must try this eggless version.
You don’t even miss the egg! It tastes like macaroons straight from a bakery π

I love macaroons. I have not made them without egg whites. I need to try these they look so delicious.

I love coconut in anything and these look so scrumptious!
I have an awesome coconut cake I’ll be making soon for the blog. Look out for the recipe!
We love coconut too! I made a similar recipe a few weeks ago and added chopped pecans to give it some crunch. These look wonderful… I love the drizzled chocolate!
Nuts would be a great addition!
I’ve never seen macaroons made with sweetened condensed milk before! I am sure that makes them extra chewy. I love coconut π
Michelle, they are super chewy in the middle but still crispy on the outside from the toasted coconut π
Coconut Macaroons are the best – little bites of bliss! I love how simple this recipe is, thanks for sharing!
Yum, I love macaroons! These look fantastic, and I love that they are egg free!
Wow I can’t believe how easy these are to make! Sadly I’m the only one in my house that likes coconut. Or…maybe that’s not so sad……..thanks for linking up at #SaucySaturdays.
More you for then Christine!
I love a good coconut macaroon! Eggless makes them better for me to share with my fitness crazy friends who don’t eat anything but fruit:) Thanks for linking up to Saucy Saturdays!
I love coconut macaroons but have never made them. This looks simple enough so looks like that’ll change!
Let me know if you try them out Matt!
What about storage? Also how long can they keep?
You can keep them in a tupperware container and they will probably keep up to 5 days. The only downside is they will lose some of their crispiness!
Hey there! I was wondering if I could make this recipe with Sweetened Shredded Coconut?
Yes! Definitely π
