Matcha Balls Main Components
- Ingredient: 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- Ingredient: 1/2 cup almond flour
- Ingredient: 2-3 tbsp maple syrup (add more or less as you like)
- Ingredient: 1 tbsp coconut oil (change amount based on how sweet you want)
- Ingredient: 1 tsp matcha green tea powder
Easy Making Process
- Mix Everything Together
- Throw the coconut shreds, almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, and matcha into your food processor.
- Process It
- Hit pulse until everything mixes well, and don't forget to scrape the sides so all gets mixed in.
- Shape Into Balls
- Get your hands dirty or grab a spoon to roll the mix into small 1-inch balls.
- Ready to Eat
- Munch on them right away or save them for later.
Customize Your Treats
Roll the balls in coconut flakes for more sweetness or add a dash of cinnamon for some warmth. If you're watching carbs, swap out the maple syrup with a no-sugar liquid sweetener and make sure you're using coconut without added sugar.
Keeping Your Energy Balls Fresh
Pop these power balls in a sealed container in your fridge to keep them fresh. They'll stay good for about a week. Don't stick them in the freezer though - they won't taste as good after thawing out.
Fun Add-ons and Twists
Coat your balls with extra coconut or dust them lightly with matcha for better looks and taste. Try throwing in a tiny bit of salt, some chia seeds, or broken nuts to add crunch and more good stuff for your body.

Ideal for Low-Carb Lifestyles
These tasty balls can easily work for keto or paleo eating plans. Just use a sweetener with no sugar instead of maple syrup and double-check that all your ingredients fit with what you can eat.
Tricks for Amazing Results
Make them as sweet as you want by playing with the maple syrup amount. Mix everything really well so your balls hold together nicely. If things get too sticky, just toss in a bit more almond flour.
