Matcha Energy Balls Recipe
Description
The Matcha Energy Balls Recipe blends wholesome ingredients such as rolled oats, desiccated coconut, almond flour, and cashew butter with honey and matcha powder to create compact, flavorful bites. The matcha green tea powder provides an earthy note balanced by the sweetness of honey and coconut. Processing all ingredients together yields a cohesive dough that firms up slightly after refrigeration.
After mixing, the dough is portioned into small balls which can be rolled in honey and shredded coconut to add texture and a touch of added sweetness. The energy balls offer a chewy, dense texture ideal for snacking or a quick nutritional boost without baking or cooking.
They are suitable for keeping on hand in the fridge and make handy snacks for busy days. The subtle matcha flavor and textures from nuts and oats make these energy balls distinctive compared to typical sweet snacks.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup cashew butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup matcha green tea powder
- honey for rolling the balls, optional, shredded coconut
- coconut for rolling the balls, optional, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your food processor and pulse until it is mixed together well. Put the bowl of your food processor into your fridge for 10 minutes.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll the dough into balls. If you'd like, roll each ball in a little honey and some coconut.
Notes
- Dusting energy balls with extra matcha powder adds visual appeal but the powder will absorb quickly.
