Ingredients:
- 4 egg whites
- 180g desiccated coconut (shredded coconut works really well too)
- 1/2 cup sunflower seed flour or meal (or almond meal)
- 1/4 cup thick coconut cream- (the thick creamy paste that’s on the top of the tin before shaking)
- 2 Tbsp raw unfiltered honey or brown rice malt syrup
- zest (rind) of 1 lemonroughly chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- pinch of sea salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 150C
- In a saucepan lightly whisk the egg whites until frothy
- Add all the other ingredients and place on a very low heat
- Stir occasionally for a few minutes until the mixture is stirred through, approximately 5 minutes. Taste the mix to check its sweet enough or zesty enough. Add more sweetener or lemon juice if needed
- Place the mixture in the fridge for 5 minutes or so to firm a little
- Line a baking tray and take a spoonful of the mix and roll into a ball before placing onto the tray
- Bake for approximately 20 – 25 minutes until lightly brown
- Remove from oven and allow to cool
- Store in the fridge (if they make it to the fridge)!
