Green Tea Matcha Bar Recipe

Make way for green food! These spring green oat bars speckled with scarlet goji berries and crunchy nuts are a munchy delight. Mmm! You have chewy sweet dates and earthy sweet goji berries, crunchy nuts and sweet coconut to offset the slightly bitter green tea.
Also, unlike many shop-bought snack bars, these contain nothing but wholesome ingredients. You won’t want to go back!
These delicious raw Matcha green tea oat bars are incredibly easy to make. Just mix together all the ingredients in a bowl, compress in a baking tray, pop in the freezer to chill and then slice up into bars. Who said clean-eating needed to be time-consuming?!
These bars are plant-based and so suitable for vegans and by using gluten-free oats, they can be made gluten-free. I love to boost the protein content using Pulsin Unflavoured Pea Protein Powder. If you have run out, you can substitute for more oats.
These bars also freeze well and travel well, making them great handy snacks.
Variations:
These oat bars work well with other superfood powders like wheatgrass and spirulina, which impart a green colour, or baobab or maca, which are more neutral in colour.
Use shredded kale instead of green tea.
Substitute green tea for Omega 3 superpowder or Vitalising superpowder for an extra nutritional boost.
Substitute the chia seeds with ground goldenberry and chia power blend.
*Note – You can use peanut butter, but this imparts a strong peanut flavour, which masks the flavour of the green tea.
