Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 120 degree Celsius. Place almonds on a baking tray and place it inside. Bake for 10 mins.
  • Remove and let it cool down for an hour or two.
  • Take the almonds in a mixer jar and give it a buzz. Start at a low speed and then gradually increase. Keep opening the lid and pushing down the almond pieces.
  • In about 10-12 minutes, the almonds will turn into a smooth nut butter.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (except chia seeds) to the mixer jar. Buzz till everything comes together into a dough like mass.
  • Take a baking tin and place a baking sheet over it. Add the mixture and spread it using your palms.
  • Place in the fridge for 3-4 hours so that it turns into a solid mass.
  • Cut into square sized pieces.
  • Place in an airtight box and store in the fridge.

Recipe Notes

The almond milk is optional because the agave nectar or maple syrup is usually enough to bind the ingredients.  But in case it turns out dry and powdery,  a few spoons of any vegan milk substitute can be used.

Additional Tips

  • For extra crunch and flavor, toast the almonds lightly in a dry skillet before incorporating them—just be sure to let them cool completely to prevent melting any other ingredients.
  • If your mixture feels too dry to bind, add a teaspoon of almond milk at a time until the dough holds together easily, as different protein powders can absorb liquids differently.
  • For a fun presentation and boost in antioxidants, roll the finished bites in a mixture of additional matcha powder and finely chopped pistachios or shredded coconut.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for up to a month for a ready-to-go snack—just let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying if frozen.
