Matcha No Bake Energy Bars (Vegan + Paleo)

These matcha no bake energy bites pack both a wake-up and a nutritional punch. The matcha powder provides a gentle dose of caffeine, while the rest of the ingredients ensure that you get a nice balance of carbs, protein and healthy fats with this tasty snack, as well as plenty of vitamins and minerals. (Psst, there’s a video with step-by-step instructions, as well!)

THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (100 g) ground gluten free oats
• 1 cup (110 g) ground almonds (or almond flour)
• 1/4 cup (25 g) ground flaxseed (linseed)
• 1 1/2 tbsp (9 g) your favourite supergreens blend
• 1 tsp (2 g) spirulina powder
• 1/2 tbsp (3 g) matcha powder
• 1/4 cup (50 g) melted coconut oil
• 3/8 - 1/2 cup (90 g - 120 g) maple syrup (depending on how sweet you want the energy bites to be)
• 1.8 oz 50 g melted dairy free white chocolate for the drizzle (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the dairy free white chocolate, until everything is evenly distributed and you get a homogeneous mixture, dough-like in consistency.
2. Roll ~ 1 - 1 1/2 tbsp of the mixture into balls, put them onto a baking tray and freeze for about 1/2 hour.
3. Drizzle with melted dairy free white chocolate and return to the freezer until the chocolate has set. (optional)
4. The matcha no bake energy bites keep well in a closed container in the fridge for about 1 week, and in the freezer for about 3 weeks. If you keep them in the freezer, take them out about 10 - 15 minutes until you start munching.
5. Enjoy!
