Ingredients

  • 3 cup cashew flour (made from 2 cups cashews ground into a flour with your food processor, blender or grinder)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon dried lavender
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 dash vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoon honey, or agave
  • 1/2 cup dried coconut
  • LAVENDER FROSTING:
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoon dried culinary lavender flowers
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon almond milk
  • 2 teaspoon coconut syrup

Instructions

  1. To make the cashew flour: Process cashews in your food processor or blender until it makes a fine flour. (about 1 minute). Don’t over blend or you will get cashew butter. 1 cup of raw cashews makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of flour.

  2. Mix together cashew flour, almond flour, 1 tablespoon of the lavender, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, coconut oil and sweetener.

  3. Roll into balls and then in the coconut.

  4. Chill to set.

  5. Try it with lavender frosting, instead of rolling in coconut! To make the lavender frosting, simple combine all of the frosting ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until thoroughly combined.
