Lemon zest and juice give these coconut-almond bites a fresh citrus flavor. Honey binds the shredded coconut and almond flour, and the mixture is rolled by hand before a short refrigerator chill.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Make the Bites
- Add the shredded coconut, lemon zest, almond flour, honey, and lemon juice to a bowl.
- Mix until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Roll the mixture into small bites, keeping their size consistent.
- Arrange the bites on a plate or tray and chill for 30 minutes.
- Store them in the refrigerator for freshness.
Yield and Shaping Tips
Prep takes 10 minutes, chill time is 30 minutes, and the recipe makes 14 servings. Press each portion together before rolling so the coconut and almond flour form a cohesive bite.
Finely shredded coconut will integrate more evenly than long strands. Distribute the lemon zest thoroughly to avoid concentrating it in only a few portions. Keep the finished bites chilled until serving so they retain their shape.
