Carob Macaroons

I have to say that these are REALLY good! Mine are more like "haystacks" than balls. But I am sure they taste the same. I enjoyed having these around Easter weekend while everyone else was enjoying their Easter candy, I had SOMETHING yummy to eat!
I have discovered the wonderful benefits of coconut oil! Great oil to add to your diet!

Carob Macaroons
Servings: 18
Prep + Cook = 45 minutes

* 3 cups unsweetened coconut meat
* 1 cup carob, or cocoa or cacao powder
* 2/3 cup organic Blue Agave, melted on low heat (you can use maple syrup or honey- but be careful with honey on the endo diet.)
* 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted on low heat

1. Combine the coconut and carob together in a medium mixing bowl.

2. Melt the coconut oil and honey over low heat until melted. Do not over heat.

3. Add the oil mixture to the coconut and stir well until combined.

4. Form into walnut sized balls. You may need to squeeze the balls with your hands to make them stick together.

5. Place balls on a pan or a plate and place in the fridge. They will harden within 20-30 minutes, but you can put them in the freezer to harden more quickly. If you choose to keep them in the freezer, let them sit out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before eating.
