Raw Vanilla Coconut Macaroons

One of the biggest things I learned post doing the Whole30 was that I am addicted to sugar. Ok maybe that's a bit dramatic, but I thought alcohol was going to be the hardest thing to forgo those 30 days, but it was definitely my nightly dessert treats that caused me the most angst. So after slowly easing back into a regular diet, I was searching high and low for some very low sugar options that would also satisfy my sweet tooth but not get me hooked on sugar again and these were just the solution. Also, I love the fact that you can make a huge batch of them and keep them on hand in your freezer for weeks (or months!). Plus, what's not to love about a no-bake recipe?

These are also a great recipe for entertaining, since they are bite sized and a crowd pleaser! There are some easy tweaks you can make in case you want to try other flavors. Adding cocoa powder and omitting the vanilla extract will make these chocolate macaroons. Another twist is to dip the vanilla macaroons in my easy DIY chocolate (see recipe here) for a truly decadent treat!
