Raw Coconut Lemon Bombs

1. where did this recipe go, i was going to make this!! :(

   1. That is very strange! I have no idea what has happened to the recipe. I’ll have to check my others and make sure they’re still intact. :(

      Here is the full post:

      I love lemony desserts, especially when they are raw and so healthy. The ingredient list is full of whole foods so you can be sure that you are feeding yourself a nourishing and healthy treat any time of day. This one is a nice combination of lemon and coconut with just the right amount of sweetness. Both flavors come through for a bright lemon flavor with a hint of coconut in this no bake cookie ball. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

      Coconut Lemon Bombs

      Ingredients
      1 cup cashews
      1/3 cup buckwheat grouts/Kasha*
      1/3 cup rolled oats (I use GF)
      1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes, optional
      zest of 2 lemons, medium sized
      juice of one lemon
      6 – 7 medjool dates, softened and pitted
      1/4-1/2 cup shredded coconut flakes for rolling

      Place cashews, buckwheat groats and/or oats in food processor and blend until a medium to fine grind (doesn’t have to be perfect). The buckwheat may stay a bit chunky so if your looking for a smooth center use all oats. Add rest of ingredients and blend until combined and you have a doughy consistency. If you find your dough is a bit too dry try adding fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time. Chill dough for about 20-30 minutes. Roll into 1 inch balls then roll in coconut flakes. Makes apprx. 12 – 14. Store in air tight container in refrigerator for up to two weeks.

      * If you don’t have buckwheat grouts, replace with oats or nuts. I love to include buckwheat wherever I can since it is a ‘superfood’ and packs a lot of protein and fiber per serving, they also have a nice nutty flavor. Per 1/4 cup serving you are getting 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, more so than oats per serving, 1/2 cup yields 5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber.

      Enjoy !

      1. Enjoy Sara…these are super good! :)

2. Recipe correction…use 2/3 cup oats instead of 1/3. I just noticed my erroe. My apologies to anyone who doesn’t see this comment. Yours truly, Julie West @ The Simple Veganista
