Soo… I was looking through my blog and realized I barely have any energy bite recipes?! Which is insane because Energy Bites are one of those staple snacks I make every week to keep around because they’re not only highly delicious, but also so quick & easy to make. I mix and match a bunch of different ingredients weekly.

Sadly, I burnt out my food processor and was in a pickle because I’ve always used a food processor to make energy bites. At the same time, I received a bottle of this Matcha Sauce from Nature’s Charm and it had me thinking… I can use this as the sweetener and binder instead of dates! Since dates are the real reason why I NEED the food processor to get it into a thick paste, this sauce was perfect because it was nice n’ thick. And now these Matcha Energy Balls are made on REPEAT. They’re high in protein, perfectly sweet, chewy, tender and kinda really highly addicting.

Ingredients in Vegan Matcha Energy Bites

These Matcha Energy Bites require only 4 ingredients!

Nature’s Charm Matcha Sauce – this acts as the binder, sweetener and gives a tasty matcha flavour
Tahini – gives it some body and also helps bind them into balls
Vanilla Protein Powder – bumps up the protein content and gives the balls some body
Coconut Flour – helps absorb the matcha sauce and provides a nice chew

AND because I know some of you can’t get your hands on coconut flour, I managed to also make a oatmeal version!

Quick Oats – easier to mix in then rolled oats!
Almond flour – helps the energy bites not dry out

How to Make Vegan Matcha Energy Bites

Stir in all the wet ingredients together in a large bowl
Add in all the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms
Roll them into 1 heaping tbsp sized balls (around 30g each)

And thats it! Yep, no food processor needed for these energy bites so you can literally make it in any bowl you have! Thats the beauty of energy bites, they’re literally the easiest snack in the world.

Tips & Tricks for Making Energy Balls Without a Food Processor

Use your hands to mix in the dry ingredients– trust me it’s so much easier
The dough may seem really dry at first but need mixing in a kneading motion until it comes together. If you find it’s REALLY not coming together (it may just be that your protein powder is more absorbant), add in a bit more sauce, tahini or splash of plant based milk
They’ll last in the fridge for up to 1 week covered in a airtight container (if they last that long!!)
