Matcha Coconut Energy Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp matcha powder

• 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (plus extra for rolling)

• ½ cup almond flour

• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

• 2 tbsp coconut oil (softened)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mixture:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, almond flour, matcha powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly.

2. Add the Wet Ingredients:

   • Add the softened coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients come together to form a sticky dough.

3. Form the Balls:

   • Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the dough into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).

4. Roll in Coconut:

   • Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut for a decorative and flavorful coating.

5. Chill:

   • Place the energy balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

6. Serve or Store:

   • Enjoy them straight from the fridge, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.

Tips:

• For added texture, mix in a tablespoon of chopped nuts or seeds.

• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup.
