Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 20 min
Yield: 1 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup almond flour (or sub seed meal, such as sunflower or sesame, or coconut flour, but start with less as these are more absorbent); 1/2 cup roasted or raw cashew butter; 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut; 1/4 cup coconut butter (MELTED — if hard, soften in the microwave or in a hot water bath until soft and pourable*); 2 Tbsp coconut butter (plus more for “frosting”); 2-4 pitted dates (if dry, soak in warm water for 5 minutes then drain // add more for sweeter bites*); 2 Tbsp hemp seeds; 2 Tbsp shredded coconut or hemp seeds; 1-2 tsp matcha powder* (add more for more intense — and slightly bitterer — matcha flavor); 1 ½ Tbsp vegan plain or vanilla protein powder (we used Tropeaka vanilla*)

Ingredients

1 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
2 2 Tbsp hemp seeds
3 1 ½ Tbsp vegan plain or vanilla protein powder (we used Tropeaka vanilla*)
4 1/2 cup roasted or raw cashew butter
5 1/4 cup coconut butter (MELTED — if hard, soften in the microwave or in a hot water bath until soft and pourable*)
6 2-4 pitted dates (if dry, soak in warm water for 5 minutes then drain // add more for sweeter bites*)
7 1-2 tsp matcha powder* (add more for more intense — and slightly bitterer — matcha flavor)
8 1/2 cup almond flour (or sub seed meal, such as sunflower or sesame, or coconut flour, but start with less as these are more absorbent)
9 2 Tbsp coconut butter (plus more for “frosting”)
10 2 Tbsp shredded coconut or hemp seeds

Directions

1
To a food processor, add all ingredients (starting with the lesser end of recommended amounts and working your way up) and blend until a thick but moldable cookie dough-like texture forms (see photo), ~3-5 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed.If mixture is too thick or crumbly, add more cashew butter and/or another date. If mixture is too wet, add more almond flour and pulse. It should be thick and scoopable.Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more matcha for matcha flavor, dates for sweetness, or cashew butter for creaminess.Scoop out 1-Tbsp amounts and gently roll into balls (as the recipe is written, there should be about 22). Repeat until all dough is formed into balls.Enjoy as is, roll in shredded coconut or hemp seeds, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to chill before topping with warmed (melted) coconut butter. If "frosting," chill again to set (about 10 minutes).If freezing or refrigerating bites before serving, they're ready to enjoy once they're firm to the touch. For best results, store in the freezer up to 1 month or refrigerator up to 1 week. If storing in the freezer, let thaw 5-10 minutes before enjoying for best texture.
