📌Ingredients

🍃3 g of Everyday matcha powder

🍃1 cup rolled oats

🍃½ cup soft dates, pitted

🍃¼ cup almond butter or peanut butter

🍃2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

🍃2 tbsp chia seeds

🍃2 tbsp shredded coconut

🍃1 tsp vanilla extract

🍃1-2 tbsp milk, if needed

📌For the Topping

🍃A light dusting of matcha powder

🍃Chopped nuts or seeds

📌How to make Matcha Energy Balls

🍃1. Prepare the Ingredients

Add the rolled oats, pitted dates, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and matcha powder to a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped and well combined.

🍃2. Add the Wet Ingredients

Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend again until the mixture becomes sticky and starts to come together.

🍃3. Adjust the Texture

Check the mixture before shaping the balls. If it feels too dry or crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time and blend again. The mixture should be soft and sticky enough to hold together when pressed.

🍃4. Shape the Energy Balls

Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a bite-sized ball. Continue until you have used all the mixture.

🍃5. Add the Toppings

Roll the energy balls in desiccated coconut or chopped nuts and seeds. For a stronger matcha-inspired finish, add a very light dusting of matcha powder.

🍃6. Chill and Serve

Place the Matcha Energy Balls in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to help them firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to enjoy.

📌Expert Tips

• Use soft dates: Fresh, soft dates work best because they add natural stickiness and help the mixture hold together.

• Measure your matcha: This recipe uses 3 g of matcha powder. You can slightly adjust the amount depending on how strong you like the matcha flavour.

• Add liquid slowly: If the mixture is too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time. Avoid adding too much liquid, as the mixture can become difficult to roll.

• Chill before serving: Refrigerating the energy balls for 20-30 minutes gives them a firmer texture.

• Try different flavours: Add dark chocolate chips, cocoa powder, crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or seeds to create your own variation.

• Store properly: Keep the finished energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for an easy grab-and-go snack.
