Scrumptious Vegan Coconut Macaroons

Yesterday I had the great honor to meet and get to know Meghann and a number of wonderful fellow NYC bloggers through the NYRR Gridiron 4M race and blogger brunch. This was the perfect excuse to use my KitchenAid mixer that we received as a  wedding gift. I assumed that there would be a mixed bag at the brunch in regards to food preferences (vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, etc). Therefore, I decided to experiment with vegan baking and agave. After navigating a few different sites and asking Bo for his opinion I opted for macaroons. I had to alter the recipes a bit as I didn’t have white flour and ran short on vanilla. But, based on the feedback Heather and Dori have posted, I think they were a great success. I hope you enjoy these as much as Bo did! This recipe is super easy to double or even triple as I did for Sunday’s occasion.

Scrumptious Vegan Coconut Macaroons
1 1/2 cups finely shredded UNSWEETENED coconut

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp salt
                                                                                     1/4 cup agave nectar
                                                                                     1/2 cup water
                                                                                      1 tsp Vanilla extract
                                                                                     1/2 tsp Almond extract
Directions
Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl. Mix wet ingredients in a large measuring cup, then add to dry and mix well. Use your hands to shape into Tbsp size balls and place on a non-stick cookie sheet or parchment paper with spray. Bake at 350F for 10-13 minutes or till golden brown. The cookies will be slightly crispy out of the oven and will soften after cooling. Serves 12 hungry friends:)
Sorry for the short post tonight but i’m vegging in bed with a bad headache and hitting the sack early!
