Paleo Lemon Coconut Bites
Paleo Lemon Coconut Bites are tangy, naturally sweet, and made with just a few clean, simple ingredients—no baking, no nonsense.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Combine shredded coconut and almond flour in a bowl (or food processor, if you're feeling fancy).
- Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and salt.
- Stir or pulse until the mixture sticks together like your ex and bad decisions.
- Scoop and roll into 12 bite-sized balls using your hands or a cookie scoop.
- Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up (the bites, not your patience).
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge—if they last that long.
