Chocolate Matcha Energy Ball (Paleo, Autoimmune Paleo, Vegan)


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup coconut butter/ mana/ cream concentrate (soft enough to stir but not melted)
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp -1 tsp matcha powder (plus more for dusting)
  • FOR THE COATING
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (or carob for AIP)

Instructions

  1. Add the coconut butter to a bowl with the shredded coconut and stir until thoroughly combined
  2. Add the flour, oil, honey, and matcha powder. I recommend 1/2 tsp, but adding up to 1 tsp will make it stronger
  3. Continue to stir
  4. Roll the dough out into balls sizes to your liking and place them onto a plate lined with parchment paper
  5. Place the plate into the freezer for at least 1 hour to allow the balls to freeze
  6. Prepare a double boiler for the coating by placing a medium sauce pot half way filled with water on medium heat, and add a metal mixing bowl on top of the pot
  7. Add the coconut oil and cocoa/carob powder and wisk until melted into a chocolate sauce
  8. Remove the balls from the fridge and use a spoon to coat with the chocolate/carob mixture, dusting at the end with extra match. The coating should harden quickly.
  9. Place the balls back into the freezer for another hour or so
  10. Transfer to the fridge and enjoy the energy balls chilled
