If a meringue and a coconut macaroon had a food baby, these gluten free, low iodine treats would be it! I pretty much lived on these when I was on the low iodine diet and I’ve been loving on them ever since. Thee treats have a lovely light coconut flavour and are deliciously soft and chewy. The apricots add a lovely fruity flavour – it’s impossible to stop at one!
These are super easy to make and totally delicious to eat. I know the irregularity of the meringues might make the OCD in you all of a quiver, but I think the random irregularity of these bites that gives them their charm.
If apricots aren’t your jam, then swap them out for your dried fruit of choice. I promise you, you won’t regret it!
