Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 1 large lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds (if using), lemon zest, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be sticky enough to form into balls.

        Form Balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a small ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

          Chill: Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes to set. This step helps the energy balls firm up and makes them easier to handle.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, your No-Bake Lemon Coconut Energy Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
