I was introduced to these heavenly raw coconut macaroons by my sweet friend Penny! She brought me a small box of these as a gift for my birthday a few years back, and I had to have the recipe… Now I’m sharing it with you! These heavenly little coconut and chocolate bites are a healthy treat that you can whip up and keep in the fridge to enjoy whenever you want a little treat!
Raw macaroons are made with raw coconut and coconut oil, a healthy fat that nourishes your body and helps keep cravings at bay!
Coconut macaroons are different than other Macaroons… They’re mainly made of coconut, and best when they’re dipped in a bit of dark chocolate.
I like to make a batch of these and keep them in a Tupperware in the back of the fridge so I can sneak a healthy treat in the afternoons!
Raw Coconut Macaroon Ingredients
- 2 Cups Unsweetened Fine Shredded Coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup fine ground almond flour
- 1/3 cup real maple syrup
- 2 oz. unsweetened dark chocolate. (I like to use Lily’s chocolate sweetened just a bit with stevia.)
- Pinch of salt (optional)

How to Make Raw Coconut Macaroons
Mix all ingredients (except the chocolate) in a smaller mixing bowl, and roll into 1-inch balls, or use a cookie scooper to shape them. (Add 2 teaspoons of water if it’s not sticky enough.)
Place macaroon balls into the fridge for 10 minutes till solid.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate (or Lily’s Chocolate) over a double boiler.
Dip one side of the coconut balls into the melted chocolate, and set on wax paper till cooled.
Drizzle with chocolate, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Store your raw macaroons in an air-tight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
Why Raw Macaroons
These raw macaroons are so fast and easy to make, plus they’re a healthy treat! They have no refined sugars, healthy coconut oil, and real maple syrup… So much better for you than a traditional coconut and chocolate macaroon! Plus they make a great gift for a friend… (Thanks Penny!)
