Healthy Coconut Macaroons

Ingredients:

• 1 cup shredded coconut

• 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• Optional but recommended:

  • 1 egg white (for structure + fluffier texture)

  • 1–2 tbsp almond flour (makes them less sticky, more “bakery-style”)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C)

2. In a bowl, mix:

   • coconut

   • condensed milk

   • vanilla

   • salt

3. If using egg white:

   • Whisk it separately until slightly frothy (not stiff peaks)

   • Fold it into the mixture

4. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes (helps coconut absorb everything)

5. Scoop into small mounds on a lined baking sheet
   (use your hands or a spoon—pack them tight so they don’t fall apart)

6. Bake for 15–18 minutes until tops are golden
