Ingredients

1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
3 tablespoon Lemon juice
2 tablespoon Lemon zest
1 cup (75g) Desiccated coconut
3 tbsp Honey

Nut Version

1 cup (130g) Cashew nuts

Nut Free Version

1 cup (95g) Rolled Oats

Instructions

In a small bowl soak the chia seeds in the lemon juice for around 10 minutes.
Transfer all ingredients (nut or nut-free version) into a food processor and blend until thoroughly combined. The mixture should reach a sticky dough consistency but be firm enough for rolling into balls
Take a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used. For added texture and flavour, consider coating each ball in extra desiccated coconut.

Notes

NOTE: I used a 15ml tablespoon. If you are using an Australian tablespoon, which is 20ml, you may have to adjust the amounts to suit.

If the mixture is too dry to roll into balls, gradually add more lemon juice or water, one teaspoon at a time, until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. Conversely, if the mixture is too wet, incorporate additional desiccated coconut or oats until it firms up.
