Indulge in air-fried matcha pistachio bliss bites! A nutritious dessert with green tea goodness, perfect for clean eating. Try this healthy treat today!
Ingredients
- • shelled pistachios: 1 cup
- • rolled oats: 1/2 cup
- • pitted dates: 1 cup
- • matcha powder: 2 tablespoons
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1/4 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • coconut oil: 1 tablespoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure that it's hot and ready for cooking the bites to perfection.
- 2 In a food processor, combine the pistachios and rolled oats. Pulse until you achieve a coarse texture. This forms the nutritious base for your bliss bites.
- 3 Add the pitted dates, matcha powder, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and sea salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.
- 4 Using your hands, form small balls with the mixture, about the size of a walnut. Place them on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.
- 5 Carefully place the bliss bites in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- 6 Once golden and slightly crispy, remove the bites from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. This cooling process will help them firm up and intensify their flavors.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Air-Fried Matcha Pistachio Bliss Bites are perfect on their own as a satisfying snack or dessert. For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle them with a bit of melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with additional crushed pistachios. Pair these bites with a calming cup of green tea or a refreshing glass of almond milk for a harmonious flavor experience. You can also serve them alongside fresh fruit slices such as strawberries or kiwi to enhance their natural sweetness and add a pop of color to your plate.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover bliss bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just remember to let them thaw at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
