Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons

Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons made with shredded coconut and super fine almond flour ready in under an hour for a spring dessert.

Friends, I miss having a dog. 

Lately in the evenings I’ve taken to scrolling through local rescues and looking at the furry faces. 

It’s hard to believe that it’s been four years since I was last a pet owner! 

I wanted you to hear it from me, first, that we’re casually looking for a four legged friend to join the family. 

We have a few requirements, yes, but mostly I just want something fluffy to give my heart to. 

In the past, I’ve used local breeders to get my pups, but this time M and I would love to do a rescue dog. 

So, we’re in the very preliminary research phases of learning all we can about puppy adoption and how a new pup might complement our life.

I’m educating myself on the adoption process and looking into how to dog-proof our space. 

Most importantly, how to keep a new dog baby away from my plant babies, and visa versa! 

I’m excited and so tentatively hopeful that this could be the year I could become a dog mom again. 

These Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons smell (and taste) like a fresh start, too. 

They’re made with shredded coconut and super fine almond flour and ready in under an hour for a spring dessert.

What You Need to Make Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons 

You just need 6 ingredients to make these Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons!

Here’s what you need:

• Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour
• unsweetened finely shredded coconut
• maple syrup
• coconut cream
• coconut oil
• lemon juice

That’s it!

How to Make Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons

While my other macaroon recipes on the blog are no-bake, these are slow-based for a golden texture. 

They’re nice and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. 

To make them, preheat the oven to 275°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add the almond flour, shredded coconut, maple syrup, coconut cream, coconut oil, and lemon juice to a high speed blender or food processor.

Blend everything until it’s just combined. 

You don’t want to over-blend this or it will turn to mush.

Some coconut and almond texture is desired here! 

With a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough and pack it in so the top is flat and then release onto the baking sheet, flat side down.

If you need to reshape the macaroon slightly so it’s right side up, that’s fine!

Repeat this until you’ve used up all of the mixture.

You can pack the baking sheet pretty full, because these macaroons don’t spread. 

You want to bake the Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons for a total of 40-45 minutes. 

I like to rotate the pan around at the halfway mark to ensure that they get evenly done. 

The macaroons are done when they start to turn golden brown around the edges and underneath. 

Allow the macaroons to cool for 30 minutes before serving. 

Bob’s Red Mill Super Fine Almond Flour

The star ingredient of these Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons is Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour.

This almond flour is my all-time favorite for vegan and gluten-free baking. 

I *always* have a bag or two in my pantry for baking, no-baking, and everything in between. 

The flour is made from California-grown almonds, which have been blanched and ground to a fine meal. 

It’s super fluffy and makes your baked goods moist with a delicious slightly nutty flavor. 

It pairs perfectly with lemon and coconut for this light and bright macaroon for warmer weather!

How to Serve Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons

Enjoy these Lemon Almond Flour Macaroons for a fun dessert or snack. 

I love to make them in summer for a quick and light dessert. 

The recipe and presentation feels elevated but is surprisingly easy to make with just 6 pantry ingredients. 

They’re lower in sugar but still delightfully sweet and lemon-y.

Stash them in the refrigerator or freezer for a sweet chilled treat whenever it’s dessert time! 

Enjoy!
