Ingredients

• 1 cup oats, instant or quick
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut, plus 1/3 cup extra for rolling

  Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and until get a soft, sticky mixture that you can easily roll into balls.

  These lemon balls are quite citrusy and not overly sweet. I recommend tasting and adjusting the sweetness to your liking before forming the balls. Add more honey or lemon if you think its needed.

  Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and roll it into 12 bite-sized balls.

  Roll each energy bite in extra shredded coconut for added texture.

  Place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

  Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
