½ cup cashew butter or almond butter
2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract preferably non-alcoholic (reduce to ½ tsp if alcohol based)
1 lemon (2 teaspoons lemon juice + 2 teaspoons lemon zest)
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup ground flax seed
¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut for rolling
¼ teaspoon sea salt optional; omit if nut butter is salted

In a large bowl, combine cashew butter, honey, vanilla, lemon juice and zest. Stir together until smooth.
To the bowl, add the almond flour, ground flax and salt (if desired). Stir until a dough forms. If it is too wet, add a bit more almond flour or flax. You can also refrigerate the dough for 10-15 minutes to help it firm up a bit.
Scooping out roughly 1.5 tablespoons at a time, roll the dough into individual balls. Roll the balls in the shredded coconut, until all of them are coated.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
