Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 2 tablespoons Matcha Powder
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flakes
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Almond Butter
- 1/2 cup Medjool Dates, pitted and chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and pit and chop the Medjool dates into small pieces to ensure even mixing and texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, matcha powder, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and cinnamon thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the almond butter and chopped dates to the dry mixture, stirring well to begin forming a sticky dough.
- Knead Mixture: Use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough. If the mixture is too dry, add water slowly, a teaspoon at a time, to help bind it.
- Form Balls: Roll the dough into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
- Chill: Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Serve: Enjoy your no-bake matcha energy balls as a healthy snack or post-workout treat. Store any leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, try toasting the coconut flakes lightly before mixing.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a small amount of honey or maple syrup.
- These energy balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
- For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or seeds.
