Ingredients

2 cups grated/shredded coconut (fresh/frozen)
3 small oranges (skin removed)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp flaxseed meal (soaked in 1/2 cup water)
3 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven at 350 degree Fahrenheit and prepare the muffin baking tray with liner or grease it with oil.
Combine all the ingredients in the food processor and process for 2 minutes or until smooth.
With an ice cream scoop spoon the batter into the muffin tray and bake it for 35 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. The top of the muffin should be golden brown.
Let it cool down completely and serve.

Notes

I would highly recommend to use liner for the muffin tray to avoid extra consumption of oil and also save extra work of cleaning the tray later.
If the macaroons are still little extra soft then bake it for another 5 minutes only. Do not bake more than 40 minutes or it will burn. Once cooled these macaroons will firm up.
I used fresh grated frozen coconut which is unsweetened. In this case make sure to defrost the coconut.
These macaroons can be stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for about a week.
For non-vegan version - use 3 large eggs instead of flaxmeal.
