Indulge in these lip-smacking matcha vegan delights
Matcha goes beyond the tea cup, shining as a star in vegan desserts. This fine green tea powder not only adds a unique flavor but also a burst of antioxidants to sweet treats. Perfect for those seeking indulgence and health, matcha enriches desserts with benefits. Discover five delectable vegan delights where matcha is the nourishing hero ingredient, offering taste and wholesomeness in every bite.
Creamy matcha chia pudding
Chia seeds expand in almond milk to form a pudding with a delightful texture. Enhanced with matcha powder for added depth and nutrients, and lightly sweetened with maple syrup, this blend becomes thick and creamy after refrigerating overnight. Serve this versatile concoction as a refreshing dessert or a nourishing breakfast, topped with an assortment of fresh fruits for extra flavor and wholesomeness.
Matcha coconut ice cream
Create a lush matcha coconut ice cream without dairy. Blend full-fat coconut milk with matcha powder, vanilla extract and your chosen sweetener. For a creamy consistency, churn in an ice cream maker or freeze and stir occasionally in a tray. This treat is not only rich and creamy but also packed with health benefits, making it a delightful indulgence.
Vegan matcha brownies
Vegan matcha brownies are a fiber-rich treat, thanks to flaxseed as an egg substitute. Combine it with flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and coconut oil for moisture. Stir in chocolate chips for sweetness. Bake until they're just set to achieve a perfect texture that's not too cakey nor too fudgy, but just right for a decadent bite.
Raw matcha energy balls
For a quick energy lift on busy days, try matcha energy balls. Blend dates, almonds, oats, shredded coconut and matcha powder until the mix is sticky. Shape into balls and chill to set. These snacks are a convenient source of sustained energy and pack a flavorful punch, making them an excellent on-the-go option for health-conscious individuals.
Matcha almond cookies
Almond flour not only gives these cookies a protein boost but also pairs with matcha for an antioxidant-rich treat. Mix almond flour, matcha powder, and baking soda, then add coconut oil and agave nectar for a touch of sweetness. Form the dough into cookies and bake until you see a golden-brown hue at the edges, ensuring they're crispy on the outside and soft inside.
