Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cup old fashioned oats (not quick oats or steel cut oats)
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Measure all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Stir well until all ingredients are combined and evenly distributed. If you have time, refrigerate for 30 minutes (this will make it easier to scoop).
- Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out a portion, then roll between your palms while packing the ingredients together and forming a ball. Continue scooping and rolling until all the dough is gone. You’ll get 24-26 energy balls.
- Store the energy balls in a covered container in the fridge. Eat within 7 days for best flavor and texture. Try to eat just one!
Notes
- If using a natural style cashew butter, make sure it’s well stirred together before you measure.
- If you don’t have cashew butter, you can sub peanut or almond butter, but the flavor will change.
- You can use sweetened or unsweetened coconut.
