Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup quick or steel cut oats
- 2 scoops vanilla or unflavored protein powder (I used Vega Protein Made Simple)
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 lemon juiced + the zest
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients (almond flour, coconut flour, quick or steel cut oats, protein powder, and poppyseeds) in a large bowl. Mix to combine.
- In a small bowl, melt coconut oil in the microwave for approximately 20-40 seconds, or until fully melted.
- Add wet ingredients (maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest) to coconut oil. Stir to combine.
- Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients using a spatula then your hands. It should form a firm, cookie-dough consistency.
- Take approximately 1 tbsp of the mixture and roll in hands. If the mixture is too sticky to roll, place in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes or add additional almond flour.
- Roll approximately 16 balls and place on parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Store in airtight container in refrigerator or freezer.
