Ingredients

1 cup 1 cup 1 cup Pistachios, raw, (meats, shelled)
1 tsp 1 tsp 1 tsp Lemon, grated
1.25 cups 1.25 cups 1.25 cups Coconut Flour, (Sifted or very fine works best - not clumpy)
1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp Coconut Sugar, (Optional for thicker texture and for coating)
0.5 cup 0.5 cup 0.5 cup Almond Butter, (creamy) or sunflower seed butter
0.5 cup 0.5 cup 0.5 cup Honey, Granulated, or maple syrup
1 tsp 1 tsp 1 tsp Lemon Juice, or extract
0.5 tsp 0.5 tsp 0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 pinch 1 pinch 1 pinch Cinnamon, ground

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Grind up your pistachios in a food processor or blender (don't blend into a flour, just a meal like texture).
Next, grate your lemon to form a bit of lemon zest.
In large bowl, add in all your dry ingredients (flour, nuts). Optional: If you'd like a more dense texture, add in 1 tbsp of coconut sugar with your dry ingredient.
Then mix in your nut butter and last, the lemon zest, honey or maple syrup, and extracts. See note below.
Mix well (I use my hands) and roll into bite size balls.
Place in freezer to harden.
Once the bites have harden, coat the bites with extra lemon zest and a coconut sugar if desired. Or feel free to coat in a little bit of vanilla protein (omit protein if paleo).
Freeze or keep in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
