What You’ll Need for Matcha Bites

  • Ingredient: 1 tsp matcha green tea powder
  • Ingredient: 1/2 cup almond flour
  • Ingredient: 1 tbsp coconut oil (up the amount for more sweetness if you want)
  • Ingredient: 2-3 tbsp maple syrup (taste and adjust)
  • Ingredient: 1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened

Simple Steps to Make Your Bites

Serve
Pop the bites right away or stash them for later snacking.
Shape Bites
Scoop out small bits and roll into bite-size balls using your hands or a spoon.
Blend Everything
Pulse all the mix in a food processor until it looks even. Don’t forget to scrape the bowl so nothing gets missed.
Mix It Up
Toss in shredded coconut, matcha powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, and almond flour into your food processor.

Switch It Up Your Way

Dust with cinnamon for a bit of warmth, or sprinkle extra coconut for more sweetness. If you want to keep carbs super low, try swapping the maple syrup for a sugar-free sweetener and double-check your coconut isn’t sweetened.

Best Storage for Energy Bites

Stick your bites in a sealed container in the fridge and they'll stay fresh for up to seven days. Freezing isn’t the best option since it messes with the texture and they won't be as tasty.

Fun Twists and Tasty Toppings

Want more crunch? Roll your bites in shredded coconut or dust with matcha powder. Throw in chia seeds, chopped nuts, or a pinch of salt for a little punch and nutty goodness.

Following a keto or low-carb plan? Just use sugar-free syrup instead of maple and double-check all your ingredients line up with your needs.

Tricks for Awesome Bites Every Time

Make them how you like them—play with maple syrup for more or less sweetness. Mix it all super well for easy rolling. If things seem gooey, just toss in some more almond flour.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Which matcha to use?

Culinary matcha's totally fine. Fancier stuff’s more intense in taste.

→ Too crumbly to roll?

Just splash in a little extra maple syrup or add a bit of coconut oil till it sticks right.

→ How long do they keep?

Keep them cool in the fridge and they’re good for a week. Pop them in the freezer if you want them to last longer.

→ Raw or toasted coconut?

Go for raw if you want things soft. Toasted turns out crunchier and adds a nutty touch.

→ Maple syrup substitutes?

Use honey or agave if you like. Tweak the amount so your mix holds together and tastes sweet enough.
