We low carb eaters don't have it so easy around Christmas time.

To make it easier for you to persevere, I have a quick Recipe for low carb coconut macaroons. Tastes mega delicious and is super easy to prepare.
What ingredients do I need for low carb coconut macaroons without sugar?
What distinguishes a conventional coconut biscuit from low carb coconut macaroons? Quite simply: the type of sugar. While classic cookies contain lots of household sugar, the low carb version is different.
Here too, of course, sweetened. However, not with classic sugar, but with Xylitol* (also Birch sugar* or called Xucker) or Erythritol*.
You can buy these two sugar substitutes in classic form or in the form of fine powder as a substitute for powdered sugar.
Let's quickly take a look at the sewing values per 100 grams:
- Sugar: 405 calories, 99.8 g carbohydrates
- Birch sugar*240 calories, 99.8 g*
- Erythritol*: 0 calories, 0 g carbohydrates*
* the special thing about the carbohydrates on the Birch sugar* However, our body cannot metabolize them. It is therefore suitable for a low carb diet. Erythritol* contains 0 calories and 0 g of carbohydrates because it is metabolized differently in our body than normal sugar. If you want to know more about it, you can read about it here.
So that you don't have sugar crystals in the macaroons, you should add to Erythritol powdered sugar* reach for. Alternatively, you can use very fine crystal sugar.
Lots of coconut
Then we still need coconut flakes. Here I pay attention to organic quality. By the way, coconut flakes are the perfect low carb ingredient. They contain not even 10 % carbohydrates.
Egg whites make the cookies nice and fluffy. And Lemon zest rounds out the Low carb coconut macaroons recipe from.
Important: Make sure you buy a lemon whose peel is edible. Conventional lemons are coated with wax. We really don't want that in the coconut macaroon recipe, do we? :)
We also completely avoid flour and the like. They have no place in macaroons. This has the advantage that you not only bake low carb, but also conjure up gluten-free cookies.
But let's get right to it with the cookies!

What is the shelf life of low carb coconut macaroons?
Coconut macaroons are Long lasting. I store them in a cool, dark place in a cookie jar. The Low carb coconut macaroons still taste like freshly baked even after 3 to 4 weeks. Except that it may happen that they become a little dry and hard.
But there's a great trick. I simply put the coconut macaroons on a plate and then outdoors for about 15 minutes. Attention: of course not in the sun and protected from birds.
The macaroons absorb moisture from the air and then taste like freshly baked again. This works best when it is raining, snowing or foggy outside.
If necessary, you can also just dip them in the coffee.
Our conclusion
Yum. Simply wonderful! I love this very simple and quick recipe for low carb macaroons.
In the end, you only need the unhealthy household sugar against Xylitol* or Erythritol* and you have low-carb cookies that taste delicious.
Have fun making it and good luck!
