These matcha energy balls are a delicious, sweet, and make-ahead snack. They’re made with ingredients like rolled oats, coconut, honey, cashew butter, and matcha powder. They’ll give you real energy anytime you need it, and they’re ready in just 10 minutes!
These matcha energy balls are one of my favorite easy snacks to keep on hand. They’re made with just a few simple ingredients, require no baking at all, and store beautifully in the fridge or freezer, which makes them perfect for busy days. Plus, they come together quickly in a food processor with very little hands-on time.
I love the earthy flavor of matcha, and it really shines here alongside rolled oats, almond flour, cashew butter, coconut, and honey. The matcha adds a subtle bitterness and that vibrant green color, while the honey binds everything together and the cashew butter keeps the flavor smooth and balanced. After a quick chill, I roll the mixture into bite-sized balls—sometimes finishing them with a little honey or shredded coconut, though they’re just as good plain.
These are the kind of snack I like to stash in the freezer and grab whenever I need something easy. They’re great for lunches, hikes, travel days, or anytime I want a simple, satisfying bite that’s ready to go.
Helpful tips
Making these matcha energy balls is easy, but here are a few helpful tips so they turn out awesome every time:
- Use a food processor or a high-speed blender so everything gets well mixed. You may need to scrape down the sides once or twice.
- If your energy balls aren’t sticking together, add more cashew butter (one teaspoon at a time) until they hold together when rolled.
- For an extra sweet treat, try adding some white chocolate chips. Matcha and white chocolate pair wonderfully together.
How to store
What’s the best way to store them? I recommend storing them in a covered container in your fridge. You can enjoy them cold, or let them sit on your counter for a few minutes to come to room temperature. They’ll keep in your fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Can I freeze them? Definitely! I like to make a big batch and freeze some for later. Store them in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy them!
