Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Almond Flour Provides structure and texture; substitute with extra coconut flour if needed.
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Flour Absorbs moisture and adds a mild coconut flavor; use more almond flour for a different texture.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Adds a protein boost and sweetness; unflavored protein can be used with extra maple syrup for balance.
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil Binds ingredients and enhances flavor; feel free to substitute with any neutral oil.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Naturally sweetens the bites; substitute with agave syrup or honey for non-vegan options.
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice Provides a bright, zesty flavor; no substitutions recommended for flavor integrity.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest Provides a bright, zesty flavor; no substitutions recommended for flavor integrity.
  • 2 tablespoons Poppy Seeds Add a delightful crunch and visual appeal; can be omitted if unavailable.
For the Glaze (Optional)
  • 1 cup Confectioners Sugar Creates a sweet finish; can be replaced with powdered erythritol for a lower-sugar option.
  • 2 tablespoons Coffee Creamer Mixed with sugar for the glaze; any milk or dairy-free alternative works well.
