Author Elizabeth Weber

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk (or other non-dairy milk of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup matcha green tea powder

Instructions

  1. Pit and chop the dates. Place matcha powder in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.

  2. Combine the almonds, oats, and cocoa powder in a food processor and pulse until evenly distributed.

  3. Add the dates, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and 1/8 cup of the soy milk. Pulse until the mixture is formed. After adding the first 1/8 cup of soy milk, add 1 tsp of soy milk at a time until the mixture is moist enough to roll, but not too wet where it is constantly sticking to your hands.

  4. Roll the dough into ~1 inch size balls and place in the mixing bowl with the matcha green tea powder.

  5. Shake the bowl to coat the balls with the powder. Serve immediately or refrigerate/freeze for later use.
