No-Bake Lemon Poppy Seed Fridge Bites are delightful bites combine the zesty freshness of lemon with the nutty crunch of poppy seeds, all without the need for an oven.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (100g) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (50g) coconut flour
- 1/3 cup (80ml) fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup (60g) coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (35g) poppy seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup (25g) shredded unsweetened coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by measuring all ingredients accurately. Zest and juice the lemons, ensuring you get the right balance of citrus flavor without any bitterness from the pith.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, poppy seeds, and salt. Stir well to distribute the poppy seeds evenly throughout the mixture.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Next, pour in the lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until a dough-like consistency forms. The dough should hold together when pressed.
Step 4: Form the Bites
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls. If the mixture feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Step 5: Coat the Bites (Optional)
For an extra touch of texture and flavor, roll the bites in shredded coconut to give them a beautiful finish and an additional layer of crunch.
Step 6: Chill and Set
Place the formed bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. You can also freeze them for a quicker set time.
