Lemon Cashew "Cake" Balls


Picture
Ingredients
In a high powered blender or food processor, blend the following:

1 & 1/2 cup cashews,

 1/2 cup rolled oats

 2 Tablespoons honey 

3 tsp. lemon juice & 1/2 tsp. lemon zest


Directions

 Melt 1 rounded Tablespoon coconut oil over low heat in a saucepan then add to above mixture and blend again.  
Add extra oats if necessary and keep blending until the consistency is dough-like and will hold its shape.  
Taste the mixture to see if it needs a little more lemon flavor. 
Add more lemon juice if necessary.  
Using a spatula, scrape mixture into a small bowl or freezer-safe container. 
Refrigerate or freeze for 10 -20 minutes. 
When mixture is chilled, use a melon baller, teaspoon or other small scoop and make 1 inch balls.

Optional Step:  Roll balls in coconut to complete.

The coconut adds a great effect to mimic snowballs for a fun winter treat and helps the balls feel less gooey to the touch.
