Paleo meringues that are delicious and require only a few basic ingredients. These fluffy, naturally sweetened treats are a great guilt-free dessert or snack.

Ingredients: 4 large egg whites. 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pinch of salt.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 200F 95C. Use parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Using an electric mixer set to high speed, beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until stiff peaks form. Gradually add honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt while continuing to beat until glossy peaks form. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe small dollops of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meringues are crisp and dry. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside with the oven door slightly ajar. After cooling, store for up to a week at room temperature in an airtight container.
