No Bake Matcha Balls Recipe

Gluten Free Green Tea Bites

bowl of no bake matcha balls

These no bake matcha balls are easy to make, but they are packed with the flavor and nutrients of matcha green tea.

Yes, there is also a nice kick of caffeine in each bite.

Another plus is that these bite sized balls are naturally gluten free, since they are made with coconut flour and almond flour.

I sweeten the balls with a little bit of maple syrup, so they are vegan.

If you do honey, you can use it instead of the syrup.

These matcha treats are lovely for an afternoon pick me up, when you need a little something special.

For those who aren’t familiar with matcha, it is a powder that is made from green tea leaves that have been grown specially to be made into matcha.

The tea plants are covered with cloths before they are harvested to intensify the flavor.

This intense flavor is desired, when the tea leaves will be ground into a powder.

Matcha is delicious as tea, and it is wonderful when mixed into vegan, gluten free, no bake matcha balls.
