Paleo Macaroons
Cooking Steps
- 3 egg whites
- 50-100g almond flour
- 2-3 table spoons of honey (until sweet)
- 2 flavoured tea bags
- optional: vanilla or almond extract
- some whole almonds
beat egg whites into a meringue (forming peaks)
mix in the honey and flavourings
fold in or use food processor the almond flour until it’s slightly firm and shapable
put a whole almond on top to decorate
put onto baking sheet and cook for 12-20mins until cooked or starting to brown at 150C (maybe experiment with the heat, not sure if hotter or cooler is better, i did 170c last time)
better they are slightly undercooked
Finn: As Greg was away on his business trip doing…something with numbers I think, I had a bit of a play around when I made these. I used flaked almonds instead of whole and accidentally dipped and coated them in melted cacao/dark chocolate, I also had them in at 150C for slightly longer (30mins) until they were nice and brown.
Soft, delicious, great flavourings as well. And so stupidly easy to make!

How are the flavored teabags to be used in this recipe?
I don’t understand where the teabags come into play
I suspect he just made himself a nice cuppa tea while baking!
Sorry guys. Maybe i wasn’t clear. The teabags are the flavourings. Cut them open and add them to the egg whites
We used a fruity flavoured tea, such as raspberry, cranberry and pomegranate, These are made from little bits of dried fruit and should be 100% natural. It cost us about £1 for a box of 2 tea bags. There’s also lots of flavours you can choose from. They taste as amazing as they smell
When I think macaroons I think coconut. I already made two kinds of cookies with almond flour today so I went out on a limb and used 1/2 c coconut flour & 1/2 c unsweetened coconut flakes. I went with the almond extract and left out the tea flavoring. They took a while to bake at 170 (35 minutes and probably should have baked longer). I need to work on that recipe, but once you add dark chocolate, it doesn’t matter much I guess!
