Having a bit of a sweet tooth lately - I don't know maybe it's the heat. These don't need baking - just drying really. You could just put them on a hot porch with a fly cover on - and they should dry very nicely.
I love coconut oil and coconuts in general so naturally I have a fondness for macaroons. These are really good for you - raw, vegan and gluten free - and out of this world yummy!
You will need:
3 cups coconut flakes
3/4 cup agave nectar
2/3 cup coconut butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or amaretto extract
Optional: 1 cup cocoa powder
1. In a large mixing bowl mix all ingredients by hand. Make sure you break up all clumps of coconut butter - it usually responds well to the warmth of your hand and becomes workable immediately. Add the cocoa powder if you want a chocolatey version otherwise omit or go half and half - leaving half blonde.
2. Refrigerate mixture for half an hour - then form little macaroon shapes and “bake” at the absolute lowest temperature your oven will allow 120ยบ would be ideal - or use a dehydrator if you have one. Dehydrate for 5 to 6 hours. If using the stove you will probably need less time check every hour until you have the desired crunchiness.

We made this recipe with raw, virgin coconut oil, and found it yummy, but far too salty. We'd recommend using less than half the recommended amount.
