Description

Sweet & zesty healthier no-bake cookies packed with a fresh key lime flavor! This 10-minute recipe is super easy to make- it’s sure to be a crowd fav on hot summer days. SCD-friendly, paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined-sugar-free. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp. coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened pumpkin seed butter
  • 3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp. unrefined coconut oil, softened
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 3 tsp. fresh lime zest
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. 
  2. Mix well until a thick dough forms. I used my hands to ensure the lime zest and coconut flakes were evenly distributed. 
  3. Scoop out balls of cookie dough with a 2-tablespoon sized measured spoon. 
  4. While the dough is at room temperature, form each ball of cookie dough into a cookie shape with your hands. 
  5. Cover the cookies loosely with Saran Wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for about an hour before serving. Serve chilled for the best texture & store leftovers in the refrigerator. 

Notes

Pumpkin seed butter subs: creamy cashew butter, creamy almond butter, unsweetened watermelon seed butter.

Note: color and flavor may change slightly if using another nut/seed butter!
