Healthy Matcha Green Tea Energy Bites
Ingredients
- ½ cup Homemade Matcha Green Tea Nut Butter
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Liquid Stevia Extract
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 1⅓ cups Quick Cooking Oats
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl fitted with a beater attachment, add all of the ingredients. Mix until completely even, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and mix one last time.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough out onto a plate. Roll the dough scoops into balls. Serve and enjoy, or store in the fridge.
Recipe Notes
- ½ cup Macadamia Butter (I used homemade! Cashew and almond butter also work)
- ⅔ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Creme-Flavored Stevia Extract
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- heaping ¼ tsp Salt
- 1¼ cups Quinoa Flakes
- ½ cup Quick Cooking Oats
- 3 tbs Coconut Flour
- 1 tbs Matcha Powder
- 1 cup Chopped White Chocolate (I used homemade!)
Here are some pictures from the recipe I posted back in 2016:
I originally added white chocolate to the recipe because the matcha + white chocolate combination is UNREAL. However, when I got around to making the recipe a couple weeks ago, I realized I didn’t have any of my homemade white chocolate on hand… so I omitted it and it was A-OK!
Yeah, I guess you could say I have a pretty well-ROUNDED diet. Heh heh heh, get it? 😉
You won’t ball-ieve how delicious, healthy, AND easy these Matcha Energy Bites are!
Enjoy!

Indulge − no strings attached!
Hahaha “well-rounded diet”! I definitely laughed out loud when I saw that! These look soooo good, I have yet to try matcha!
Lol I love your puns! These bites look really yummy. I love green tea, how is the taste of matcha different? Also where can you buy it for cheap? I saw it at Sprouts but it was 14 dollars for a tiny jar. Can you blend green tea and make it yourself?
Matcha is much more earthy and grassy tasting compared to regular green tea. It’s also much more green in color and contains more antioxidants than green tea. It’s very expensive, but totally worth it in my opinion (kind of like how high quality chocolate is better than cheap/crappy chocolate) 😉
I suppose you can make Green Tea Energy Bites by opening up packets of green tea and grinding the tea leaves into a powder, but the color and flavor won’t be the same. I’m sure it’ll still be tasty though! 🙂
Thanks Jessica! I just wish I could buy just a tiny bit to try… Maybe I’ll get some later, I love the green hue!

I’ve never tried macadamia not butter! Does it have a really strong flavor or is it knid of mild like cashew butter? And I LOVED the matcha pun–it was awesome! 😀
Macadamia butter is pretty mild, similar to cashew butter. I’m sure cashew butter would be great in here too! 🙂
This looks honestly so delicious!! I am going to have to try this! Pinned! xox
Thanks so much Georgie! 🙂
I love the idea of an energy bite!
This looks soooo good! Really getting to matcha and all the things you can make with it. Found an awesome recipe for a green tea shot by Tenzo!
I am a matcha lover and these are to dye for! Thanks – perfect for the No Sugar challenge, like the rest of your recipes. Actually, that No Sugar challenge is getting too good to be true with all your recipes! 🙂
Awwww thank you! I’m so, so glad you liked the energy bites 🙂
Good luck on the rest of your No Sugar challenge!
I always stop for a moment and take a deep breath when I drink green tea! Love it
