Pumpkin Pie Spiced Macaroons (Low-carb Paleo)

Low-carb Paleo and Candida Friendly Pumpkin Spice Macaroons

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1 tsp allspice

  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon

  • 0.5 tsp nutmeg

  • 1 Tbsp coconut flour

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • 1/8 tsp baking soda

  • ¾ cup roasted spaghetti squash puree

  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted (should add 1 Tbsp to help hold together better)

  • 10 drops stevia

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350

  2. In a medium-large bowl, mix the first seven dry ingredients: shredded coconut, spices, coconut flour, salt, baking soda

  3. In a separate bowl, mix the last four wet ingredients, then combine with the shredded coconut mixture

  4. Scoop dough with a rounded Tbsp measure, packing in well to help it hold together.  Then, place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.  And repeat until dough is gone.  NOTE:  You may need to clean the spoon or your hands a few times through.  You may try greasing the spoon too.

  5. Place in the oven with a second cookie sheet underneath to help keep the bottoms from burning.  

  6. Bake at 350 for about 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden.  

  7. Take out and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before moving from the pan or they will ball apart.
