Yield: 22 (macaroons)
Ingredients: 4 cups packed shredded unsweetened coconut* ((see notes for brand recommendations)); ½ cup aquafaba ((brine from canned chickpeas // see our Aquafaba Guide!)); 1/4 tsp cream of tartar ((optional // to help the aquafaba stiffen)); 7 Tbsp maple syrup ((DIVIDED // or sub stevia to taste - 1-2 packets)); 1 tsp vanilla extract; 1/4 tsp sea salt ((plus more to taste)); 2 Tbsp melted coconut oil ((If avoiding oil, omit // coconut oil adds moisture and helps them brown in the oven)); 2/3 cup chopped vegan dark chocolate ((I like Trader Joe’s 72% dark chocolate bar)); 1 Tbsp coconut oil ((if avoiding oil, omit))
