Unsweetened coconut is a popular choice on low carbohydrate and keto diets.
Not only is it low in carbs, coconut meat itself is flavorful.

Here are a few more tips for you.

1. These macaroons will need to be baked before covering them with the chocolate. It is important that you allow them to cool when they are done baking and before transferring them off of the baking sheet.
2. This recipe uses vanilla extract for additional flavor. Feel free to substitute in another flavor extract (such as banana or lemon for example) for your vanilla extract to change up the taste of your macaroons!
3. The chocolate that is drizzled over these macaroons is a simple glaze that is also vegan. Feel free to omit this step if you do not want chocolate. However, you could also double it if you want even more chocolate.

These macaroons could be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for as long as two to three weeks. However, you could also freeze them.
