These no-bake energy bites combine the earthy flavor of matcha with creamy white chocolate and oats for a quick, energizing snack perfect for busy days or on-the-go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (135 g)
  • ½ cup almond butter (120 g), preferably unsweetened and creamy
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder (ceremonial grade recommended)
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips (90 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, can be swapped with flaxseed meal)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Almond butter should be at room temperature.
  2. Add rolled oats, matcha powder, sea salt, and chia seeds if using. Mix gently but thoroughly to evenly distribute matcha and avoid clumps. Adjust texture by adding a teaspoon of water or almond milk if too dry, or more oats if too wet.
  3. Fold in white chocolate chips carefully so they remain visible and do not melt, about 1 minute.
  4. Shape the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) bite-sized balls using hands or a small cookie scoop. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and color. Room temperature almond butter mixes easier. Chill bites well to prevent them from falling apart. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. Vegan option: swap honey for maple syrup and use dairy-free white chocolate or carob chips. Optional chia seeds add fiber and crunch. Avoid overmixing to keep chewy texture.
