Matcha Oatmeal Balls
A little burst of caffeine and antioxidants from the matcha in these energy balls! The base of these bites is oatmeal and with a burst of honey! These come together super fast and are a great energizing snack.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup hemp hearts
- 1 ½ tablespoons matcha
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- ¼ cup optional: pistachios (chopped to use as garnish)
Instructions
- In a food processor, place the oats and hemp hearts. Pulse until everything is ground up - like thick sand (see photo above in blog post).
- In a small bowl, mix the matcha and water together. Stir until everything is smooth. Then set aside.
- In a small pot melt the honey until it is liquid and runny, then immediately remove it from the heat.
- Add the honey, matcha, and vanilla to the food processor. Pulse until everything is combined and sticking together, it will form a dough ball. Use a teaspoon to scoop the dough and roll into balls. Press a couple chopped pistchio itno each balls if using.
Notes
- Storage: These energy bites are best stored at room temperature as the fridge will make them quite hard. They last about a week. Or place them in the freezer to last up to three months.
- A food processor or high-power blender would work to make these.
- Oats: quick oats or rolled oats work for this recipe.
- Gluten free: To make sure these are gluten free, use certified gluten free oats.
