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.

I just made these tonight. I doubled the recipe. I don’t have a food processor and mixed it in my Vitamix. Subsequently, my double batch didn’t yield 24 macaroons, it was more like 18 or so. I cooked mine on the bottom rack for 7 mins and the top rack for 3 mins, but they weren’t as crispy as I would have preferred. However, they held together just fine. Well, they are officially cooling, but I was tempted to eat one. Okay, three. And they were yummy, albeit too sweet for my taste. For my next double batch, I will only use 1/4 cup of honey and figure out what else I can use to hold them together. If any one has any suggestions regarding what I can use instead of honey to hold them together, then please share. Thanks in advance and thanks for the awesome recipe!

I went ahead and just looked at the recipe and put them in the oven. I left mine in for about 10 minutes and the bottom was a nice toasted coconut crust. I was very happy that they held together nicely. I was able to transfer them off the baking pan after about 5 minutes and let them cool off on a ceramic plate. I honestly was not sure I was going to like these, as I’m a big fan of traditional coconut macaroons, but I LOVED THESE! They were delicious and I will definitely be making them again. Btw, I only waited about 20 minutes before eating them. Thank you so much for this simple and healthy recipe!
Elana says
So glad to hear you LOVED the macaroons!

Nevermind! It is great now that they have cool down. Hence 3 hours cool down on the recipe. I guess I got impatient since it smelled so goooood!
Yvette says
“7 minutes?”, I said. And whipped them up in the Thermomix
Elana says
That’s great Yvette!
Tammy says

I just made these. My first time tring Paleo-style baking. I’m about to IMMEDIATELY make at least one more batch. Maybe two. Three? Making them to take to a sleepover. The kids don’t want to wait. They want them all now.
So – success!!
Elana says
Tammy, I’m so glad that these were really yummy!

Thanks so much for sharing such healthy delicious recipes. I’ve tried so many of your recipes and always had great success. QUESTION: Do you know of a macarON (almond flour, egg cookie) recipe using mostly stevia? I love macarONs also, and it’s the only recipe (actually I have trouble w/ all meringue cookies) that I’ve never been able to master because my shell always comes out soggy, though delicious. I have to substitute the sugar amount w/ Stevia in the Raw (equal amount of stevia for sugar form of Stevia) and cutting the bitter taste w/ a little bit of Xylitol & palm sugar b/c I have pre-diabetes and can’t tolerate high glycemic sweeteners, even palm sugar is too much for me and Xylitol causes all sorts of gastric problems for me if consumed too much. I can’t seem to find any macaron recipe using Stevia (the vegan ones aren’t at all like the French macarons that are so light and airy). If Elena or anyone knows of a low glycemic sugar free macaron recipe, I would love to hear it. Thanks so much.
