Mum-Mum’s used to be Poppy’s favourite snack. She ate them all the time. If ever I was in need of a calm moment, Mum-Mum’s were there to save the day. Like with all things Poppy eventually moved on to the next favourite thing….cheerios…then it was prunes or cheese or yogurt tubes. You get the point. The other day Poppy was digging through the kitchen hutch and came across a pack of her old friends. This was her reaction.

makes about 30 macaroons

2 large egg whites

1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey

1/2 tsp organic vanilla

1/8 tsp organic almond extract

2 cups organic unsweetened shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, maple syrup, vanilla and almond extract. Add the coconut and stir until combined.

Using a tablespoon as a scooper, spoon out the mixture onto a parchment lined tray ( or 2 ) leaving about an inch of space between the macaroons. Bake for 15 minutes or until the bottoms and sides are golden brown and the tops are begining to brown. Once you have removed the macaroons from the oven let rest for a min of 30 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy

*note: these would be amazing with a little chocolate drizzled on top!
