Chocolate-Dipped Chai Spiced Raw Macaroons

0 · Nov 6, 2017 · Emily Caruso · 1 Comment

Chocolate-Dipped Chai Spiced Raw MacaroonsWe are entering the time of year where cookie plates abound and there’s nothing but sweets as far as the eye can see. At first this can be a delightful turn of events, but after a short while all of it can get to be a little too much. This year, I have a few healthier cookie recipes that I will be adding to my traditional cookie plates for a little more wholesomeness.

First on my list for this holiday season are these sweet little chai spiced raw macaroons. I have been a fan of the traditional coconut macaroons for many years, but recently was introduced to the idea of these raw no-bake coconut treats.

I have made several versions of these raw macaroons in recent months and I love that they are full of natural ingredients that I can feel good about eating—plus they take only a few minutes to make.

The base of the ‘dough’ is unsweetened dried coconut flakes, coconut oil, and almond flour making them gluten-free. While the base of these macaroons can stay the same, you can spice them in a variety of ways to make several different flavor profiles.

Today, I’m sharing with you my chai spiced raw macaroons. I added a homemade chai spice blend made from ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and cardamom. You can use a commercial blend of spices if you prefer. The spices bring a warmth to the flavor that is perfect for this time of year.

The coconut adds fiber while the coconut oil adds healthy fats. A touch of natural maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness. To take these to the next level, I decided to dip them in some melted dark organic chocolate with a sprinkle of sea salt. The chocolate and sea salt play nicely off the subtle spice of the macaroons.
