Coconut & Vanilla Protein Macaroons
Perfect when you need a little treat and protein hit. These macaroons are not only delicious but also packed with the goodness of pea protein. They make for a satisfying snack or a healthy dessert option. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 cups shredded coconut
1/2 cup vanilla pea protein powder
1/2 cup golden organic sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
2 cups shredded coconut
1/2 cup vanilla pea protein powder
1/2 cup golden organic sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 165°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, protein powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This may take a few minutes using an electric mixer.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the dry ingredient mixture. Make sure to fold carefully to avoid deflating the egg whites.
Scoop out portions of the mixture and form them into small mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Space them apart to allow for spreading.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly golden brown on the outside. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before pouring yourself a cuppa and sitting back to enjoy.
