Description
No-bake, high protein snacks that taste like sweet matcha cookie dough, perfect for a quick energizing treat.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats (Quick oats work too, but rolled oats give a nicer texture.)
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (Whey or plant based works.)
- 1-2 teaspoons Matcha powder (Ceremonial is great; culinary grade is fine for bites.)
- 1/2 cup Nut butter (Almond butter is preferred; peanut butter also works.)
- 2-3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (Just enough to sweeten and help bind.)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds or ground flax (Optional; helps for texture and staying power.)
- 1 pinch Salt (Enhances flavor.)
- 1-2 tablespoons Milk (Any milk; used a splash at a time if the dough feels dry.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, matcha powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add nut butter and honey or maple syrup to the dry mixture, and stir until combined.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add milk one teaspoon at a time until the desired texture is reached.
- Once the mixture is well combined, let it rest for 5 minutes.
- After resting, scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop.
Storage
- Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
For vegan, use maple syrup and plant-based protein powder. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. Adjust matcha flavor to your preference.
