These Filipino-style macaroons are so easy to make and so delicious. they are golden crisp on the odges and soft, chewy and moist on the inside, they’re super addictive. If you prefer, coat them in chocolate to give it a even richer flavour. The addition of small amount of white spelt flour in the batter makes them taste more like cakes rather than standard coconut macaroon, but they are just equally delicious. They make a great midday pick or after-meal dessert or even as a lunch box filler. Don't confuse coconut macaroons with chewy, yet crisp airy French macarons. Macarons and macaroons differ in their main ingredient, which for macarons is almond meal, and macaroons is shredded coconut.
A macaron (pronounced "mack-ah-ROHN") , which has roots in Paris, is a meringue-based cookie. Its batter is composed of almond flour, egg whites, and confectioners’ sugar. Parisian macarons come in a variety of colours and flavours and usually filled with buttercream, ganache, jam, or fruit curd. The main ingredient of a macaroon (pronounced "mack-ah-ROON") is shredded coconut and its original recipe does not require sweetened condensed milk. As the recipe suggests, this is a Filipino-style macaroon, which is composed of butter, sugar, sweetened condensed milk and coconut of course.

- Line one 24-vavity mini muffin pan with paper cups and place 9 standard-sized reusable silicone baking cups in a baking tray. Set aside. Use two mini muffin pans or 20 silicone muffin cups if you have them.
- In a bowl, beat softened unsalted butter using a hand mixer on low speed until creamy. Add in sugar and beat together until well blended and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract and continue to beat until blended. In a medium bowl, combine white spelt flour and desiccated coconut. Add to the butter-egg mixture and beat until combined.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Divide the thick batter into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake the mini muffins for about 15-18 minutes and 25-28 minutes for standard-size muffins until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from baking pan and let cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.

Love the the coconut in muffins, the filipino style macaroons lokks so yummy.
Macarons or macaroons, I don't mind which, as I love almonds, meringue and coconut equally well! :)
Seriously, your macaroons look delicious, light and fluffy!
Thanks for sharing and have a good weekend :)
Look delicious! Think you Angie!!

wow, looks so light. bet it tastes as good as it looks
En casa preferimos estas magdalenas a los macarons franceses, nos gusta más esta textura abizcochada que va bien para desayunos y meriendas. O cuando nos apetezca. Te han quedado preciosas.
Un beso.
sounds delicious and we are huge coconut fans!
Looks more like a muffin than a macaroon to me. I don't like macarons but I do love coconut macaroons if done well.
These look so delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

These look and sound amazing. I've never had a coconut muffin. I'm surprised I'e never seen these before. Or anything like them. Happy almost weekend. Hugs-Erika
My husband loves macaroons, so this is a must to make for me.
Angie, The explanation you have given about the difference between French macarons whose main ingredient is almonds and this "Filipino" macarons whose main ingredient is coconut is very interesting. In Argentina there is a similar preparation that we call "Cocadas" I'll give you the recipe

Looks beautiful and delicious.
Coconut? I'm in! Love the stuff. These look great -- thanks.
I'm unfamiliar with this type of macaroon. I'd love to give it a whirl, so thanks for brining it to my attention!
Angie, I learned something new today! Macaroons vs. macarons... Coconut vs. almond. My wife loves macarons but I'm not a fan. I'm sure that we'd both pig out on these sweet coconut infused macaroons... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
This looks great. I'd like to try this 😊
Looks delicious, I'll have one please.
Hi! Angie, it's really delicious 😀!
These look so lovely, love that beautiful golden colour.
Hello,
Yum, I would love one of these. They sound delicious, thanks for sharing.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Bellissimi e golosi!!
Thought macarons and macaroons were the same thing - just spelling difference in different parts of the world! :O Now I know. Thanks so much for educating me.
I didn't realize there was a Filipino version of coconut macaroons! Thank you for enlightening me, Angie, because these look absolutely delicious!
Very new and unique recipe for us! I would like to try Filipino coconut macaroons. Bye the way Presentation is perfect Dear Angie!
I've never been a fan of meringue based macaroons, but these really have caught my interest. Kind of like a sweet cookie muffin. Of course anything with sweetened condensed milk has to be good. :)
Oh what a lovely bunch of macaroons!!
They look soft rich and delicious. Yes, I'll take mine coated in the chocolate.
They really look good, Angie! I'd love to coat them in chocolate too :)
Ils seront parfaits avec une tasse de thé ! Merci pour ce partage gourmand :)
Delicious coconut macaroons, I am a huge fan of coconut, thanks for sharing this beautiful recipe.
I’m not sure 🤔 if my last comment went through, I had to resign in, which is very strange.
These macaroons are beautiful, and such a nice riff with the cake texture.

@Eva Taylor Both your comments for the puff pastry and macaroons went through.
yes chocolate coating definitely :) We used to make these as kids, and i remember them having condensed milk in the mixture. sooo sweet. i think too sweet for me now; my old teeth just can't take it :)
wow !! how cute they look, these macaroons are more like a muffin.. am sure they tasted great!!
OMG you make these too! I am impressed
Gosh, I really do love the flavour of coconut.
I love the look of the crumb on these beauties. I would love them with my coffee in the morning. (Or any time!) :-) ~Valentina
Would love to have this with cuppa black coffee! Always like the aroma and flavor of coconut in bakes.
I have a recipe for Filipino coconut cakes, but it's quite different to yours. Yours sound more of a treat and quite delicious.
I think these look fun to make and tasty to eat!
