- ¼ cup/ 50 grams Raw Almonds use sunflower seeds for nut-free option
- ¼ cup/ 30 grams Oats
- ½ tsp Matcha Powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
To decorate:

Instructions
- Check that your dates are soft by squishing them between your fingers. If they are not soft enough, soak the dates in hot water for a few minutes until soft then drain.
- Add the dates, oats, almonds, matcha powder, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Pulse to combine. The mixture should form a sticky dough. If it is not coming together, add a little water 1 tsp at a time and continue to pulse until a dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add a few more oats and pulse.
- Take tablespoonfuls of the dough and roll between your hands to form balls. To make mini monsters, use teaspoonfuls of dough.
- Decorate the matcha energy balls by adding edible eyes and the sliced almonds for the mouths. Enjoy!
Notes
- The energy balls will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
