Ingredients for keto coconut macaroons

Shredded coconut – A finely shredded coconut will give the lightest, smoothest texture but a medium to large can also work since we will blend it up anyway. Make sure you get unsweetened coconut! Check the ingredient label if you are not sure.

Almonds – Nuts add fiber and bulk to the no bake fat bomb. Almonds may be substituted with walnuts, macadamia nuts, or pecans, depending on what you have on hand.

Stevia extract – We use an herbal plant-based stevia extract to naturally sweetened these from scratch treats. Did you know you can make an extract at home? My Homemade Stevia Extract Recipe will teach you exactly how to do it!

Coconut oil – Add just a bit of coconut oil to bind all the ingredients together. It firms up in the fridge and holds everything in a nice and neat little ball.

Vanilla extract – Truth be told, vanilla powder is amazing in this recipe but it is also quite expensive so if you donโ€™t have a hook up at the local spice shop and have to pay full price, use vanilla extract instead. Vanilla powder is very concentrated. If you do use it, only add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla powder.

Salt – Last but not least, salt is an essential ingredient to this recipe. It makes the whole flavor profile click in place. Just one pinch of salt provides the perfect sweet to salty ratio. You canโ€™t leave this out!

Am I right, do you already have these ingredients on hand? If you do, get to your kitchen and make these right now!

Made Sugar-Free with Stevia

A keto diet means NO SUGAR! Did I lose you? Stay with me here!

There are a few ways to sweeten the recipe without any sugar or artificial sweeteners. Using stevia is one way.

Stevia is a plant, originally from Peru and Brazil, known as โ€œsweet leafโ€. It was given this nickname because of the sterol glycosides that are 30 to 150 times sweeter than sugar! Some sources claim up to 300x as sweet.

I grow stevia in our backyard and preserve the leaves year-round in a Homemade Stevia Extract. It is excellent for adding to hot and cold drinks, sauces, and marinades.

You can also purchase the liquid extract online. It can come in a variety of flavors, however โ€œunflavoredโ€ or โ€œoriginalโ€ will be the best for multi-purpose use.

Stevia is a natural sweetener and also zero calories! Itโ€™s a useful way to sweeten without sugar for low carb, keto, gluten free and paleo diets.

Can this coconut macaroons recipe be frozen?

No bake coconut macaroons can absolutely be frozen!

In fact, they are great for weekly meal prep and can be made ahead in bulk by doubling or tripling the recipe. You can scale this recipe up by making multiple batches and only wash the same amount of dishes as if you made a single batch.

A freezer full of food always makes me happy. Batching easy recipes like this means you will always have food on hand when you need it most.

To freeze keto coconut macaroons, follow step 4 of the recipe and arrange them on a small baking sheet or plate. The only difference here is that you want to line it with parchment or wax paper so the balls donโ€™t stick to the tray. Then place it in the freezer. Once solid, transfer the macaroon fat bombs to a freezer safe bag, squeeze out the air and fit them in wherever there is room.

Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving and let thaw on the counter.

    I love that these just use stevia and not a blend of sweeteners! So I tried them and loved them. The texture is great! Thanks.

    1. Texture can be so important when blending with an alternative sweetener. Thanks for the comments, Kalinda.

  2. 5 stars
    This recipe is so easy, and the results are delicious! I followed the instructions exactly, and they turned out perfectly. I’m going to try making them with other nuts, too.

    These no-bake keto coconut macaroons were truly delicious! I recently tried it, and my husband also liked it! The saltiness and sweetness are balanced, which makes me want for more! I will be making these again!

  4. 5 stars
    I made these with my little one and it was a fun way to get them involved in a healthy recipe! They came out awesome, we enjoyed them with some strawberries and decided to make another batch to freeze for next week.

  5. 5 stars
    Omgsh these coconut treats were delicious! I used stevia that I purchased and I must say I am super jealous of your own stevia plant. Does it grow year-round? Sounds like a great way to obtain natural stevia.

    1. Hi Gloria, Stevia only grows year-round in US zones 9 or warmer. So if you live there, yes! Stevia will grow year round, if not, it will overwinter if protected from the cold. I hope this helps!

  6. Did you roll them in coconut afterwards? Mine did not look the same as yours and i had blended my coconut.

  7. 4 stars
    I made the coconut macaroons recipe. I couldn’t get it to stick together. So I added more coconut oil. Still didn’t stick. So I added 2 oz of cream cheese. Perfection. Then I dipped them in melted Lilly’s chocolate. Almond joy!

    1. Great question – I’ll update the recipe card to clarify more. Start with 1/4 teaspoon, taste, and add more as needed. Thanks for asking!

  8. 5 stars
    Oh my goodness, these look just amazing. My husband loves coconut macaroons. These seem so quick and easy to make. I’m going to make these for him this week. Thank you!

  9. 5 stars
    Macaroons are never enough. Especially if they look so nice and inviting as these cuties. Can’t wait to make a big batch of them!
