These are so easy to make (you don’t even need to get out the food processor!) and are a nice alternative to the usual chocolate/date variety. They are sweetened with just a little honey and the combination of lemon and coconut not only tastes but also smells amazing – just like lemon slice!
Ingredients (makes about 16):
1 cup quick oats
1 cup almond meal
2/3 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup skim milk powder
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup water
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup dessicated coconut, extra
Method:
- Mix all ingredients (except extra coconut) together in a large bowl. Mixture should come together in one clump-if it’s too dry add a little more water, if too wet add a little more almond meal or coconut.
- Spread extra coconut over a large plate. Roll mixture into balls, then roll in coconut.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until firm.
Hi I’d love to try your recipe but was wondering if I could substitute the skim milk powder for another ingredient? No particular reason, I’m just trying not to eat too much dairy.
Thanks, Sami.
Hi Sami, it should be fine to just leave out the skim milk powder and replace it with extra almond meal or oats. It does add sweetness though so you may need to add some extra honey. Hope that works! Skye
Thanks for replying. That sound good, I’ll do that when I get round to making them.

I made these today and they are so yummy! I didn’t have skim milk powder so I substituted a little more almond meal and some LSA. I also added a bit more honey but I found them a touch sweet so next time I’ll will just use the recipe amount
So yum and so easy!
Glad you liked them Rachel! Great idea to add some LSA too
Love these! going to make them this weekend for bushwalking. Such a nice snack.
