Coconut Macaroons [vegan]

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These delicious coconut macaroons are really straightforward to make and contain only 3 ingredients.

Coconut Macaroons [vegan] by The Flexitarian

These vegan coconut macaroons evolved from one of my son’s school projects (on French pâtisseries) and a recipe from my mum.

As a child, I used to love helping my mum making these.

They are really straightforward with 3 ingredients and I thought we could make a vegan version using aquafaba (chickpea brine). Aquafaba works here as a binder and also makes the mix wetter. You do not want to over whisk it but simply make the chickpea brine frothy.

We shaped the macaroons as balls, but you can also pipe them into shapes. The melted chocolate bottoms (my son’s favourite part) are optional. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this coconut macaroon recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
