Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (Also called old-fashioned oats. Choose certified gluten-free for a gluten-free option.)
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, ¼ cup natural peanut butter, ¼ cup pure maple syrup, 1 Tablespoon matcha powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of salt
- Process, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until a cookie-dough-like mixture has formed. You should still see pieces of oats.
- Pull off a small piece and roll it in your hands to form a ball. (You can use a small cookie scoop to do this, if you prefer.) Place the ball on a small cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then repeat with the remaining mixture. Depending on the size you make them, you should have approximately 16 balls.
- Enjoy right away, or place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to firm up the balls. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
