Equipment

  • Small food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond Flour or other nut flour
  • 6 each Dates pitted
  • 2-3 tsp Matcha powder
  • 2 tsp Coconut oil
  • 2-3 T Maple Syrup or Honey (or sub stevia to taste for Keto)
  • 1/2 tsp Mint extract
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa nibs or Mini Chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Blend all ingredients except for the cocoa nibs until dough is formed. Adjust the sweetness level by adding a little more maple syrup or honey.
  • Mixed in cocoa nibs last
  • Form little balls by taking a heaping teaspoon of the dough and rolling tighter with hands. (If the dough starts to stick, sprinkle a little bit of water on your hands first)
  • Place the balls on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Place in the fridge so they set up.
  • Transfer to a freezer zip lock bag and place it in the freezer for up to a month!

Notes

They’re even good frozen or they defrost pretty quickly as well. Enjoy!
