Cook Time: -
Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 macaroons
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of shredded carrots, 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, almond flour, and shredded coconut. Mix well to ensure the carrots are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
- Add the maple syrup to the mixture. This will act as a binding agent and sweetener for your macaroons. Stir until the syrup is fully incorporated into the dry ingredients.
- Sprinkle in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. These spices will enhance the flavor of your macaroons. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 to
- 5 inches in diameter. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each macaroon.
- Once all the mixture has been shaped into macaroons, gently flatten the tops of each ball with your fingers or the palm of your hand to create a slightly more uniform shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will help the macaroons firm up and hold their shape.
- After chilling, your Raw Carrot Cake Macaroons are ready to serve! Enjoy them as a healthy snack or a sweet treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

- Chill for Best Results: Don’t skip the chilling step! It’s crucial for helping the macaroons hold their shape and enhances their texture.
- Perfect Portioning: Use a cookie scoop or your hands to ensure each macaroon is uniform in size. This not only looks appealing but also ensures even chilling.
- Storage Tips: Keep your macaroons fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
