Ingredients
  • 1 cup maple syrup, grade B
  • 3 cups finely shredded organic unsweetened coconut
  • ½ cup chopped unsalted pistachios
  • 3 egg whites, lightly beaten until foamy

  • Pinch sea salt
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Rough chop the pistachios into small pieces, blend the egg whites and combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well with a rubber spatula.
  2. Use a nonstick baking sheet, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wet your hands and make small piles of the mixture, each 1 to 2 tablespoons; place on sheet about an inch apart.
  3. Bake until firm to the touch and lightly browning on edges, about 30-40 minutes. Remove baking sheet and cool for at least 30 minutes before eating.
