This Egg-Free Paleo Macaroons recipe is made with 6 healthy ingredients. It contains shredded coconut, coconut flour, coconut oil, salt, vanilla, and a touch of honey and is a cinch to make. Egg-Free Paleo Macaroons are the perfect Passover treat. Especially when you have guests at your Seder following an Egg-Free Diet. We like this healthy macaroon recipe so much though, that we make it all year round!
Most macaroon recipes contain eggs. Whenever I write about our healthy Passover Seders, or post a macaroon recipe I get numerous comments from readers asking for gluten-free, egg-free macaroons. Well, here you go! Egg-Free Paleo Macaroons!

I was inspired to create the recipe above by Jenni Hulet. She created an Egg-Free Macaroons recipe which I thought looked delicious and so I had to make my own version of them.
My younger son loves macaroons, and asks me to make them for him often. He is not a choco-holic like my husband and older son. He absolutely adores my lemon bars, and I created a lemon bar recipe for him in my first cookbook, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. He’s so happy when I serve my healthy Lemon Bars recipe at our Passover Seder, and I love it because like these macaroons, they’re Kosher for Passover!
It’s so hard to find good nut-free, egg-free paleo cookie recipes, but you’re in luck with these macaroons. Here are some of my other healthy egg-free dessert recipes. They’re all Kosher for Passover too!
This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives, I first published this recipe in 2013.
Anna says
Oh wow, these are yummy! I’m not a huge macaroon fan, and never used to like coconut much, but have got more used to it since I started low carbing 18 months ago, and these are just delicious! Will try less honey next time, as they are a bit sweet for me, perhaps upping the oil a bit so they’ll still stick together.
Elana says
Thanks Anna! I’m so happy to hear these had the wow factor :-)
Michaela says
I made these last night. They were delicious. I added chocolate chips to half the batch. My husband couldn’t stop eating them!
Elana says
Michaela, I loved hearing that your husband couldn’t stop eating these because they were so delicious!
Ashlie says
This is crazy – you must have read my mind! Last night as I was lying in bed just back from vacation – where a macaroon is usually my go-to treat, though I end up with a belly ache from the egg and sugar so I forced myself not to indulge this time – I thought, how can I make them without eggs? I had settled on making the mounds/almond joy bars instead, but this is perfect, just gotta get some coconut flour!
Elana says
Ashlie, I’m so glad this recipe is perfect for you :-)
Dawn Riccardi Morris says
It’s amazing what you can do with coconut and honey!
You’re right, it is not easy living the Paleo lifestyle without eggs. I end up eating dinner leftovers for breakfast much of the time. So, thank you so much for tweaking this one to exclude them.
Have a happy, healthy day!
Elana says
Dawn, you’re very welcome!
Maria says
I made these tonite using the leftover pulp from making coconut milk instead of the shredded coconut. The pulp was still moist so it took quite a while to bake them, but they were like eating velvet! I felt great that there was no waste and no need to dehydrate the pulp. They would be delicious with a little melted chocolate drizzled across the top. Yum!
Thanks!
Elana says
Maria, I’m so glad to hear these tasted like velvet!
Annie says
Hurray!
Elana says
Annie, agreed!
Kathryn says
Love the fact these are egg free – can’t wait to try them.
Kathryn says
It took until tonight to finally make these. While I love your traditional macaroon recipe this one is a keeper, too. They go together so quickly and were a huge hit. Thanks!
Elana says
Kathryn, I’m so happy to hear these were a huge hit!
Hope says
Thank you for the recipe. I am looking forward to your Paleo cookbook! I was curious if your cookbook will be heavy in pork recipes? I have noticed this in a lot of the Paleo cookbooks. I don’t eat pork so I was just curious. Thanks again, Elana!
elana says
Hi Hope,
You are in luck! I don’t like to cook with pork either, so all of the recipes in the book are pork-free. I hope you love the book as much as we all do! Here’s the link so you can take a look:
