Healthy Easter Macaroons
Ingredients
- 70g unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp (50g) honey or golden syrup
- 1 egg white
- 1 tbsp (10g) cocoa
- 15 mini eggs (3 per each nest)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees C (fan) and mix together the coconut, honey/golden syrup, egg white and cocoa in a bowl - mix well until all of the ingredients are combined.
- Divide the mixture between 5 silicone muffin cases and press down the mixture so it's tightly compact (I used the end of a flat tumbler glass for this!). Then make a small well in each macaroon to make a 'nest' for the eggs - I used the end of a wooden spoon for this
- Bake for 17 minutes (I placed the silicone muffin tray on a baking tray) and allow to cool completely (15-20 mins) before popping them out and filling with the Mini Eggs! NB, If you don't let them cool completely they may crumble - I lost one this way which is why only 4 are pictured! It still tasted good though!!
