Ingredients

Units Scale

For the AIP Coconut Macaroons

30 gr Erythritol
2 free range Egg Yolks (about 30 gr)
30 gr Sweet Potato Starch
1 tsp Ginger Juice
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
20 g of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
25 g melted Coconut Oil
2 free range Egg Whites
1/2 tsp of Baking Powder
1/2 tsp of Sodium Bicarbonate
40 gr Coconut Flour

For Garnishing

1 tbsp of shredded Coconut Flakes

For the Prune & Chocolate Filling

30 gr pitted Dried Prunes
20 gr 100% Dark Chocolate*
1 tbsp Coconut Milk
* to keep this recipe AIP (replace the chocolate with 20 more grams of dried prunes.)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and erythritol together until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add the sweet potato starch to the mixture and continue mixing until it becomes creamy.
While mixing, add the vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, ginger juice, and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the coconut flour into the mixture, followed by the melted coconut oil. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the batter onto the sheet, spacing them evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly golden brown on the edges.
Allow the macaroons to cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, sandwich two macaroons together with a small amount of prune & chocolate filling to create the ‘kisses’.

Notes

These macaroons are perfect for those following a paleo or AIP diet. They are grain and nut free, making them suitable for various dietary restrictions. If you want to ensure everyone gets enough, consider doubling the recipe. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
