Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of your choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

Zest of 2 large lemons

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., walnuts or sunflower seeds) for added crunch

Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for a sweet twist

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If you're adding nuts or chocolate chips, include them in this step.

    Mix Well: Use a spatula or your hands to mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed. If it feels too dry, you can add a little more nut butter or a splash of water.

      Form the Balls: Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is formed into balls.

        Chill: Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are formed, transfer them to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

          Serve and Store: After chilling, your lemon coconut energy balls are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.

            Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes (including chilling) | Servings: 12-15 balls
