Vegan Matcha Macaroons

What a lovely green these matcha macaroons are!  Don't they make you think of spring?

These scrumptious macaroons would be the perfect dessert to serve family and friends when you celebrate the arrival of spring solstice.

Ingredients:

1 organic banana, mashed

1/4 cup organic coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup organic pure maple syrup

1 1/2 cups organic coconut, shredded

1 T organic matcha 

1/2 t organic pure vanilla extract

Sea salt to taste

Method:

Line a small baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper, set-aside.

In a large bowl, mash banana. Blend in remaining ingredients.

Use a medium sized ice cream scoop to scoop up macaroon mixture.  Place each macaroon on the lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 20 minutes to allow the macaroons to firm up.

Store macaroons in a glass container with a tightly secure lid in the freezer.
