Crafting Your Lemon Delight
In a grand bowl, unite the oat flour, almond flour, cornstarch, sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. Mix, ensuring the symphony is smooth and harmonious.
Now, introduce the wet cast – lemon juice, soy milk, almond butter – and stir until a velvety, substantial dough graces your creation.
A moment of patience as you cover the bowl, letting it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
As the oven preheats to 350°F (175°C), lay a parchment paper on your baking sheet, setting the stage for baking brilliance.
Scoop out 1 ½ tablespoons of dough for each bite, rolling it into a sphere of delight. Place them on the sheet, gently flattening them with care. Ensure they’re bestowed with a 2-inch personal space.
Into the oven they go, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges bloom into a golden hue. Keep a vigilant eye to avoid any over-browning mishaps.
Once they emerge, grant them a moment on the sheet – around 5 minutes – before they journey to a cooling rack, where they find serenity.
And then, it’s time to crown them with a lemon drizzle, a flourish of the final enchantment. The stage is set, your lemon bites are ready to delight!
