These no-bake energy bites blend matcha green tea powder with dates, oats, and nut butter for a chewy, naturally sweetened snack. Chopped pistachios add texture and a subtle salty contrast to the earthy, slightly bitter matcha. They store well in the fridge, making them a convenient grab-and-go breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup pitted dates, packed
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon water, as needed

Method

  1. Place the pitted dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky, roughly smooth paste, scraping down the sides as needed.

  2. Add the oats, almond butter, honey, matcha powder, salt, and vanilla extract to the food processor with the date paste.

  3. Process the mixture in bursts until it comes together into a thick, slightly sticky dough, about 1 to 2 minutes. If the dough is too dry to hold together, add water 1 teaspoon at a time and pulse again.

  4. Transfer the dough to a bowl and fold in the chopped pistachios and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

  5. Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and roll between your palms into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough to form about 20 bites.

  6. Arrange the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until firm.

  7. Transfer the chilled bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
