Servings: 1 1/2 dozen
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

• 1 1/2 cups almonds
• 3 cups shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, softened
• 1/2-3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• dash sea salt

Chocolate flavored option: 1/4 cup cocoa powder (add at least 2 more tablespoons maple syrup if adding cocoa to the recipe.)

Holiday flavored option: 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg.

In a food processor blend almonds and coconut into a fine meal. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until it forms a sticky dough ball.

Using a small ice-cream scoop, drop out small golf-ball size macaroons on a dehydrator tray. Dehydrate at a low temperature (105) for 24 hours, then refrigerate.
