Instructions
- Melt the coconut oil if needed.
- Place the avocado, coconut oil oil, coconut flour, maple syrup or other sweetener, and matcha powder into a food processor or mixing bowl.
- Pulse or mix until mix well until combined and smooth.
- Take 1 truffle-sized (1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons) amount of the mixture and make a small ball by rolling the dough in your hands. Place the ball on a tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat the same process until you run out of dough.
- Place the bites in the fridge to harden.
- While they chill, place the chocolate and salt in the top of a double boiler. Heat over boiling water until melted. Make sure that no water contacts the chocolate, otherwise it will seize up.
- Remove the balls from the fridge. Coat as many as you'd like with the melted chocolate mixture.
- Place the matcha energy balls onto parchment paper.
- Sprinkle each ball with extra matcha powder or other toppings (optional).
- Place the truffles back in the refrigerator until chocolate has completely hardened.
- If you decide to not coat some of them with chocolate, you can roll them in shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts, or powdered sweetener, or leave them plain.
- Enjoy!
