Raw Lemon Balls

So my mom and dad are doing this crazy thing where the whole family can't have any refined sugar for a month, or, in other words, the bleached, crystalized stuff. I wanted to scream because it meant no more baking for a month, and that was not an option. But then Mom revealed that refined sugar just meant brown sugar, powder sugar, white sugar, really just the processed stuff. I'm still allowed to use honey, syrup, unprocessed cane sugar, or basically anything that hasn't been through the machines. I've kind of adapted to these restrictions and this is one recipe my mom asked me to make, which calls for syrup or honey instead of sugar:

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup almond flour

1/3 cup coconut flour

A couple sprinkles from the salt shaker

Wet Ingredients:

1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. sweetener (honey, syrup, coconut sugar, cane sugar, of, if you don't happen to be going off sugar, normal sugar)

1/4 cup lemon juice (it's definitely better with juice from real lemons, not the stuff you buy from the store)

2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 cup + 1 tsp. melted coconut oil

Instructions:

1. Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix it together.

2. Add all the wet ingredients to a different bowl and mix that together.

3. Pour the dry ingredients into a food processor. Then turn it on and slowly add the wet ingredients through the opening in the lid. You have to let it go until it's completely combined, but stop it every once in a while to scrape the sides with a spatula.

4. After the wet ingredients are completely applied, do the same with the melted coconut oil, feeding it through the top until it's combined.

5. Roll little balls with your hands and roll tem around in anything: coconut, powdered sugar, or just leave them plain. I prefer coconut flakes.

6. Place the balls on a plate and put them in the freezer to harden. When you think they're done, put them in a container, like the picture above. Store them in the fridge, and make sure to put the lid on the container so they don't start tasting like refrigerator. 

So, I know that I already put a recipe on for lemon squares, but this is just a different kind of lemon, with no oven included. They're always cold because you keep them in the fridge, and I think they're a bit more refreshing.
