Method
 

How to Make Pistachio Matcha Energy Bites
  1. In a food processor, add the shelled pistachios, rolled oats, and matcha powder. Blend until a sandy texture forms, about 10-15 seconds.
  2. Next, toss in the pitted Medjool dates and continue to blend for 30 seconds until a moist, sticky dough holds together.
  3. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract, chia seeds, and sea salt until well combined.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. If desired, roll in shredded coconut or chopped pistachios for extra crunch. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.
  6. Optional: Drizzle a tiny bit of maple syrup or honey over the bites before serving.

Notes

Use fresh, soft Medjool dates for optimal sweetness and binding. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
