  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil Binds the mixture; can substitute with other neutral oils.

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice and Zest Essential for flavor; use fresh lemon.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder, poppy seeds, and lemon zest. Whisk until fluffy.
  2. Prepare wet ingredients: Melt coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds. Whisk in maple syrup until combined.
  3. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Pour wet into dry ingredients; fold until a firm, slightly sticky dough forms, adjusting with almond flour if needed.
  4. Press dough into pan: Line a small dish with wax paper, transfer dough, and press down evenly to about 1 inch thick.
  5. Chill to set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours; longer chilling develops flavor.
  6. Make optional glaze: Whisk confectioners sugar with a splash of coffee creamer until smooth.
  7. Glaze and freeze bites: Drizzle glaze over bites and return to the freezer for 20 minutes for a firmer glaze.
  8. Slice and serve: Allow bites to sit briefly before slicing into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
