31 days of Wholefood breakfast: Macaroons!


Keeping this series real: I served breakfast from a box on Sunday morning.  Gluten free french toast sticks...and they tasted pretty good.  There's just no such thing as 100% wholefood diet when you go grocery shopping with a nine year old {darling} blond boy.



Notice any themes at our breakfast table?   Morning cookies are a hot commodity around our house.  The baintrain loves them with a bowl of yogurt, I love that they are super filling, tasty and quick. Since coconut is so nutritious and doesn't cause  inflammation like grains do, I love having it in the wholefood breakfast rotation.   

This is a modified recipe from Adrienne: her son is deathly allergic to eggs so the original was egg-free.  I had to get a bit more protein in them for breakfast so I tweaked the recipe and made it my own in a just few minutes.  

 :: MACAROONS ::
 preheat over to 350 
convection optional

2 2/3 c shredded unsweetened coconut
1 c coconut milk
5 T coconut sugar, xylitol or honey
2 T Flour - I used GF baking mix
1 T vanilla
2 fresh eggs
dash of salt

This is a one bowl wonder.  Simply measure and mix. I used a really high tech fork to mix it all together.  I popped the macaroons on parchment paper lined baking sheets and  cleaned the kitchen while they baked for 15 minutes - until slightly brown around the edges. 

You know how a new recipe ususally takes longer? Well, these were mixed and ready to bake in under 10 minutes.  I believe you could make them in the morning - with time to spare!

 Enjoy!
