Lemon Poppyseed Truffles | Easy + 4-ingredients

I ADORE these lemon truffles with every part of my soul. And that is because they are so easy, so quick and so incredibly lemony while also being juuust sweet enough to counteract any sour. Plus they are filled with ingredients that make me feel great, making them the perfect pick-me-up snack in the middle of the day.

Also am I the only person who likes like small-bite snacks? Something you can grab when you’re craving something a little sweet but don’t want to “commit” to anything? I might sound crazy, but this recipe is perfect for those instances too!

And when I say 4 ingredients, I MEAN 4 ingredients (well, except for salt, but who is counting that?) This gluten free and vegan recipe is one-and-done with only a few pantry staples, making it the simplest snack you might whip up in your kitchen this week.

Speaking of ingredients, here they are! The priciest thing here is the almond flour. But if it’s winter citrus season, a lemon goes for about 19 cents, so there is NO excuse not to treat yourself to these truffles. I’m a carb queen but I am ALSO a budget queen.

And poppyseed should be relatively easy to find, I know a few grocery stores have it in the spice section or baking section. But if you can’t find it, no sweat, I’ve found replacing it with lemon zest works just as well, although you do get a slightly different look and flavor of course!

And this is where I usually fill the article with tips and tricks on the method of the recipe, but for this one it’s just so insanely quick that I don’t know if I have any! Well…let me think about the specifics. Ok here’s a few:

• If you don’t have a scale to weigh the almond flour, just densely pack it in the measuring cup. This recipe uses a densely packed cup, so it should be the same.
• If your dough is a bit too wet, feel free to add almond flour to help firm it up, and if it’s a bit too dry, add a squeeze of lemon juice first, then begin to alternate between maple syrup and lemon juice if you need more!
• When mixing, it will look like the dough doesn’t want to come together, but be patient and it will! Almond flour is a miracle ingredient that absorbs moisture, so it will soak up the small amount of liquid and give you the perfect truffle texture.

And still on the fence? Let me just vouch for this by saying that almond flour is the BEST ingredient ever. It keeps you so full, is jam packed with healthy fats and fiber, and is just overall the best snack. You can see how else I use it in another recipe here. Safe to say I am slightly obsessed.
