3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut *
-
3 egg whites
-
¾ cup local honey or 100% real maple syrup
-
½ tsp sea salt
-

DIRECTIONS
-
Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
-
In a large bowl add the egg whites and use a handheld blender with whisk attachment to whisk egg whites to stiff peaks.
-
Add the honey and salt and stir or whisk together with the egg whites.
-
Add the shredded and flaked coconut and, and mix thoroughly.
-
Use a non-stick donut pan and grease/oil it heavily.
-
Spoon mix into donut molds, bake in oven for 12 minutes.
-
Let cool for 5 minutes in donut pan and then gently pop out wreaths, let wreaths cool for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
-
Notes:
The same mix/batter can be used to make coconut macaroon mounds instead of wreaths.
-
*Avoid very large flakes of the flaked coconut, chop if necessary. Large flakes cause the macaroons to break apart easily.
-
If you do not have a donut pan, chill the mix/batter for 30 minutes and then form wreaths with your hands on a greased/lined baking sheet.
