I got the recipe for these incredible raw lemon macaroons from my friend Natasha from Simply Raw.

I prefer these macaroons to be soft and chewy with a subtle crust. But, if you want a harder consistency, leave them in the dehydrator for longer.

  1. Hey,

    I think you have written wrong under the sweeteners, you have written :

    1 1/4 cup liquid sweetener of choice (raw agave, coconut aminos, or maple syrup)

    Shouldn´t it say coconut nectar?

    ;-))

    hugs Rikke

      1. Thanks Rikke and Natasha.
        I used the raw agave and didn’t even look at it when I typed it up.
        THANKYOU for pointing this out 🙂
