Ingredients:

1 cup pistachio nuts
120g
1 tsp lemon zest
2g
1 cup coconut flour
36g
1 tbsp sugar
13g
1/3 cup almond butter
80g
1/4 cup honey
88g
1/2 tsp lemon juice
2.54g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.10g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pistachios:
- Place the pistachio nuts in a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Pulse until they are finely chopped, but not completely powdered. You want some small chunks for texture.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, lemon zest, coconut flour, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Stir these ingredients until they are evenly distributed.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter and honey.
- Warm the mixture in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make it easier to mix.
- Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the warmed almond butter and honey, and mix until smooth.
4. Form the Dough:
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Stir them together until a thick dough forms. You may need to use your hands as the mixture can be quite thick.
5. Shape the Bliss Balls:
- Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls using the palms of your hands.
- If the mixture is too dry and falls apart, add a small amount of water or extra lemon juice, a little at a time, until it sticks together.
6. Optional Step - Chill:
- For firmer bliss balls, place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
7. Serve and Store:
- Enjoy your Lemon Pistachio Bliss Balls as a snack or dessert.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips:

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a consistent texture.

- Finely chop or pulse the pistachios in a food processor for a smoother texture in the bliss balls.

- If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add a bit more almond butter or honey to help bind the ingredients.

- For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding an additional 1/2 tsp of lemon zest.

- Roll the bliss balls in shredded coconut or finely chopped pistachios for an extra layer of texture and flavor.

Enjoy your homemade lemon pistachio bliss balls as a healthy snack anytime you need a boost of energy. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month. These delicious bites are perfect for on-the-go snacking, and their refreshing lemon flavor is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
