Raw Lemon Poppy Seed Energy Balls

If you're craving lemon poppy seed muffins, try these raw lemon poppy seed muffin energy balls for a quicker, easier, healthier and low calorie alternative!

Something about the combination of almond flour and coconut flour in these muffin bites gives a cake-like texture which almost convinces you that you are biting into a muffin.

These two ingredients also make them high in fibre and very filling, meaning you can satisfy your lemon poppy seed muffin craving for just 55 calories and get all the raw goodness that goes into them!

I also like to add a pinch of tumeric to give them a yellow colour and swap the poppy seeds for chia seeds to give an extra superfood boost. 

Ingredients For These Lemon Poppy Seed Energy Balls

For these delicious lemon-y bliss balls, you'll need:

• Ground almonds - You can buy ground almonds, grind your own or use almond flour.
  
  
• Raw coconut flour - Combined with the ground almonds, this creates a "cake" like texture! The "flour" is just finely ground coconut and can be found in most supermarkets and health food stores.
  
  
• Agave nectar - Or other raw sweetener of your choice. You can also use Medjool dates. See the picture below for how they'll look using dates. They will look less pretty but will be just as delicious!
  
  
• Coconut oil
  
  
• Lemon - Zest and the juice
  
  
• Poppy seeds - Or you could use chia seeds which have a less intense flavour.
  

Below is a photo of the muffin bites made with dates instead of agave. The appearance is slightly different and it has a more subtle sweetness but is just as delicious!
