- 15 drops doTERRA lemon oil or 1 tbsp lemon zest + 1 tbsp lemon juice
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, egg, coconut oil, vanilla and lemon oil (or zest/juice).
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir until combined.
Chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to allow the batter to harden.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll dough in to 1-inch balls and slightly flatten.
Bake until edges begin to brown, 7-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool before enjoying
To make your own almond flour (aka almond meal), look for blanched slivered almonds and pop them in your food processor or high-speed blender. You could even use a clean coffee grinder (just may take a few batches!). Be careful not to over blend, or else you'll end up with almond butter! You're looking for just a fine texture.
