Healthy Coconut Lemon Balls

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife March 8, 2014July 25, 2016
March 8, 2014July 25, 2016

Sometimes it’s hard to find something different to add to the kids lunch boxes, they have their usual sandwich, a piece of fruit, vegetables sticks and some baking, but there are days where they want something a little more and I am loving the ‘balls‘ that I have been making lately.  Not only are they great to have on hand as a quick snack, they have been a great filler to the kids lunchbox too.

If your school has a nut free policy reader Megan suggests:  To make it nut-free, you could just increase the dessicated coconut, or replace the almond meal with crushed oats, flaked quinoa, rice puffs, or corn flakes. I think some sort of puffed grain would work nicely. Maybe even amaranth or millet if you can find it (they have more protein than rice).

Do you have an alternative ingredient to replace the almonds? Most schools are nut free zones. I would still love to make the lemon balls, they look delicious! Maybe an after school snack 🙂

Reply
Narelle March 9, 2014 - 9:49 PM

sunflower seeds would be a great alternative, make them into a meal with the blender.

I would like to know that as well.

Beautiful is you Katrina, what a wonderful recipe, so healthy. I have the happy addiction to chocolate so my favourite snack is almond meal, honey, coconut oil and a couple of tablespoons of cacao. I used to roll these into balls, now I just put the mixture into a jar and take a teaspoon to the fridge and get some when I feel like a sweet treat. The jar has been known to find it’s way with a spoon to the computer and is enjoyed while browsing my favourite blogs : ) x

Can you freeze them

Reply
Nancy September 17, 2015 - 3:05 PM

can I replace the coconut oil with anything else ?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife September 17, 2015 - 3:08 PM

Hi Nancy, you use butter, however use 3/4 of the required amount of coconut oil. Do keep them in the fridge to help them stay in a ball shape 🙂

Just made the lemon balls and they are fabulous! Ours is a nut free school so I used 30g flaked quinoa and 55g crushed oats instead of the almond meal. Thanks for such a great recipe.

Kate - Kat's Assistant October 29, 2015 - 8:40 AM

Ooh i like the sound of adding flaked quinoa! I will have to try your version, thanks sally.:)

Just made these. I used 15g of coconut syrup instead of honey. Really good. Thanks for the recipe.

I might be a few years too late with this comment but I’ve got a tip for nutfree bliss balls… buckwheat groats. You have to put them in food processor for a good minute or 2 to break them up a bit. Then add all the usual seeds etc and other ingredients. They add a nice crunch 🙂

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
