Servings: 16 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup (110g) almond flour
- 1 1/4 cups (100g) unsweetened shredded coconuts
- 1/2 cup (125g) peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons (40g) honey substitute with maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) almond milk or water
Instructions
- Melt peanut butter in the microwave for a few seconds until soft and creamy.
- In a food processor, combine all ingredients except milk and pulse until combined, about 20-30 seconds then add almond milk and pulse until mixture starts to stick together and form a dough like consistency. Scrape side to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Roll mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls, and place them in an airtight container. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Dust with additional matcha or roll in additional shredded coconut before serving (optional).
- Store in the fridge until ready to eat. Leftovers can be kept well in the fridge for 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
Notes
- If you use sweetened shredded coconut, you can omit or reduce to just 1 tablespoon of honey/maple syrup. Feel free to substitute with brown sugar in case you don’t have honey on hand. The level of sweetness depends on personal taste.
- Add in nuts if desired. Some suggestions would be chia seeds, cashews, peanuts, oats, flax seeds or your choice of nut.
- I use a cookie scoop to help divide the bites evenly, and then roll them into nice round balls.
