Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then set aside.
Prepare the balls:
Add all ingredients for the balls to a food processor and process until everything is well combined. The mixture should have a smooth and thick consistency, like raw cookie dough.
Add the add-in:
Add the chopped dried cranberries to the mixture and stir-in by hand until they are evenly distributed.
Test the mixture by taking out a spoonful to see if it's firm enough to roll into a ball shape. Depending on the type of sweetener you use, you may need to let the ball mixture firm a little in the refrigerator before rolling into a ball. If they aren't firm enough to roll into a ball shape, put the ball mixture in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, then remove and proceed to Step 4.
Assembly:
Take a spoonful at a time and roll them into the palms of your hand to form a ball shape. If they start to stick to the palms of your hands, just rub a tiny amount of coconut oil on your palms and continue.
Place the balls on the prepared cookie sheet and place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm.
Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator until ready to serve because they will get soft and lose their shape if left out at room temperature.
Notes
Almond Flour + Coconut Flour: I haven't tested the recipe using any other flours or flour combinations.Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice will give the best flavor and nutrition, but you can also substitute with store-bought organic lemon juice.Lemon Zest: I prefer to use Organic Lemon Essential Oil for an intense lemon flavor and in lieu of using lemon peel which may contain waxes, even on organic produce.Coconut Oil: If you don't like the taste or flavor of coconut oil, use organic refined coconut oil which has zero coconut taste or flavor.*Maple Syrup: Substitute with organic date nectar to keep the recipe 100% Lectin-Free**Vanilla Extract: Substitute with alcohol-free vanilla extract to keep the recipe 100% Medical Medium compliant.Dried Cranberries: It's best to take a few minutes and chop the dried cranberries into tiny pieces rather than add the whole dried cranberry. The smaller pieces are easier to roll into a ball shape and they won't be overwhelming in taste.Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with sea salt.Serving Size: This recipe will make approximately (18) small balls. Nutritional information is for (1) ball which is (1) serving.
