I don't know many people who don't love the refreshing flavor of a lemon. It makes me think of summer even in the dead of winter. Why not try these healthy lemon bar coconut balls for an easy-to-make snack. The lemon flavor pops while the coconut takes a backseat to let the flavor take over. I do love a sweet treat that seems like an indulgence but really, it's low in sugar and cures the craving. Give them a try, I bet you are going to love them!
Lemon Bar Coconut Balls
You will need:
●
½ cup of coconut flour
●
½ cup almond flour
●
4 medjool dates, pitted
●
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
●
3 tablespoons of coconut butter, melted
●
2 tablespoon of lemon juice (1 medium size lemon)
●
2 teaspoons lemon zest
●
4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Procedure:
Add all ingredients into a food processor. Blend well, about 1-3 minutes.
The ‘dough’ should stick together with a little pressure, making the ball shape easy to form.
I use a small cookie scoop, 2 scoops per ball.
Add to a parchment lined baking sheet and pop in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Letting the lemon bar balls harden makes it easier to add a drizzle.
If eliminating dates due to carb amount, sub ¼-½ cup of nut butter of choice.
These recipes are the best because they are easily adjustable!
If the dough gets too ‘wet’ add a little more almond or coconut flour.
If the dough needs a little extra moisture to stick together, add more melted coconut oil or nut butter.
Feeling a little extra sweet? Maple syrup will do the trick!
Makes 11 lemon bar balls.
Keep refrigerated.
Coconut Frosting Drizzle:
●
2 tablespoons of coconut butter
●
½ tsp coconut oil
●
1 ½ tsp of lemon juice
●
Splash of vanilla extract
To make a little sweeter, add ¼ teaspoon of maple syrup.
Add all ingredients to a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 10-15 seconds. Mix well.
Lemon has a tendency to seize up ingredients.
If the drizzle gets too thick, add more coconut oil and pop back into the microwave for a few seconds.
Drizzle on Lemon Coconut Balls and top with lemon zest.
