Ingredients

(Makes about 18–20 bites)

• 1 cup almond flour
  
  

• ½ cup oat flour
  
  

• ¼ cup vanilla plant‑based protein powder
  
  

• ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  
  

• 1 Tbsp matcha green tea powder
  
  

• ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  
  

• ½ cup cashew butter (or almond butter)
  
  

• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  
  

• 1 Tbsp water (more if needed)
  
  

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, ground flaxseed, matcha powder, and sea salt.
   
   

2. Add cashew butter, maple syrup, and water. Use your hands to mix everything into a cohesive dough. If too dry or crumbly, add a splash more water. The dough should hold together easily.
   
   

3. Roll the mixture into small bite‑size balls (approximately 18–20).
   
   

4. Store the bites in the refrigerator or freezer.™ They’ll firm up and taste best chilled.
