Description
Chewy, slightly sweet no-bake energy bites infused with matcha and coconut, perfect for quick snacks and packed with energy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 120 g (1 1/4 cups) almond flour
- 100 g (1 cup) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 10 g (2 tbsp) matcha powder
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup
- 45 ml (3 tbsp) coconut oil, melted
- 30 g (3 tbsp) chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) fine sea salt
- 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- Optional: 30 g (1 scoop) vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Measure and combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, weigh almond flour, shredded coconut, matcha powder, chia seeds, and fine sea salt. Whisk them together for 10–20 seconds.
- Warm coconut oil until fully melted — about 20–30 seconds in the microwave. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl and mix with a spatula until a rough dough forms.
- Press the dough between your fingers to check if it holds together. If too sticky, chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough and roll into smooth balls.
- Roll finished balls in extra shredded coconut or matcha, if desired, and chill for 20 minutes.
Notes
These energy bites firm up in the fridge and taste better after a day. They travel well and can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
