No Bake Chocolate Macaroons

a plate of yummy macaroons

I figured it was time I tried a desert recipe. A friend of mine has been making this recipe for years and thought I would like it. She was right. I love these cookies. I think you will find it both tasty and gooey.

One note about this recipe: It requires oats. Many brands of oats have cross-contamination issues, so I would suggest a brand like Lara’s Rolled Oats which is tested to ensure that no wheat has been introduced.

    I agree, these are a great way of treating yourself to some chocolate and coconut. Try substituting 1/4c. Organic, Gluten Free Back 2 the Garden Sprouted Flaxseed Powder for 1/4 c. rolled oats. This adds a bit of texture, omega 3’s, and increased vitamins and minerals quickly and easily. It is one way of ensuring your free radicals get a good mopping, and you get a dose of Omega 3’s to boot!
