Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 1 large lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup almond or peanut butter

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, almond flour, and salt. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all dry ingredients are evenly mixed and distributed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, use a whisk to blend together the honey (or maple syrup), fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If you're adding almond or peanut butter, include it at this stage and whisk until fully integrated.

      Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir everything together until you achieve a sticky and cohesive mixture. If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips for an additional burst of flavor and texture.

        Form the Balls: With clean hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a tight ball. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Continue this process until all the mixture is shaped into balls.

          Chill: For better texture, refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows them to firm up and makes them easier to handle.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, enjoy these delightful zesty lemon coconut bliss balls as a quick snack or a refreshing post-workout treat! For any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

              Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes (including chill time) | Servings: Approximately 12-15 balls
