Easy Lite Coconut Macaroons

Coconut macaroons are always so easy to make, and usually only require ingredients already sitting in your pantry. My vegan Easy Lite Coconut Macaroons use aquafaba instead of egg whites and rice malt syrup instead of sugar, to make them a lighter, slightly less guilty treat. Dip them in your favourite vegan chocolate and serve with tea!

Ingredients

  • 100ml aquafaba (6 tbs)
  • 100ml rice malt syrup
  • 150g shredded coconut
