Raw lemon bites with coconut and baobab

I am so into making raw treats lately, I love that they are so healthy and easy to make and yet they still taste absolutely amazing! I have been creating so many new recipes these past two weeks and my tiny freezer is just filled with all kinds of raw treats – which means that I have been making quite a lot, because usually I eat them faster than I make them ;)

One of my newest creations are these cute little lemon bites, I love how fresh they are compared to my usual chocolate/caramel treats and the sweet taste of the coconut goes so well with the sour taste of the lemon. I added baobab powder to give an extra vitamin C boost and the flavor goes really well with the lemon and coconut, so do not be afraid to add baobab if you have some lying around.





Ingredients:

1 cup raw unsalted cashews

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1 small lemon or 1/2 large, juice and zest

1 tablespoon raw honey, agave or other sweetener of choice

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon pure lemon extract *

1-2 teaspoons baobab powder – optional (I used this one – affiliate link)

A pinch of turmeric for coloring – optional

Inspired by this recipe by My Darling Lemon Thyme

* the specific amount depends on what kind you use. You can leave it out and add the zest from another lemon instead.
