Ingredients
Scale
- 150 g (1½ cups) rolled oats
- 90 g (1 cup) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 60 g (½ cup) almond flour
- 180 g (¾ cup) almond butter
- 60 ml (¼ cup) maple syrup
- 10 g (2 tbsp) matcha powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp (1.5 g) fine sea salt
- 15 g (1 tbsp) chia seeds (optional)
- 30 g (2 tbsp) white chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the coconut (optional): Place 30 g (⅓ cup) of shredded coconut in a small skillet over medium heat and toast until golden, about 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Pulse the dry base: Combine rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, matcha powder, and fine sea salt in a food processor. Pulse 6–8 short times until evenly mixed.
- Add wet ingredients: Add almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture holds together.
- Check texture and chill: If the mixture crumbles, add more almond butter. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
- Portion and roll: Use a tablespoon scoop for even portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then roll in toasted coconut if desired.
- Chill and serve: Place balls on a lined tray and chill for another 10–15 minutes to set before serving.
