Instructions

  • Prepare the Base:
    Mix shredded coconut, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt in a bowl. Press firmly into a parchment-lined 20×20 cm square pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.

  • Make Matcha-Chia Pudding:
    Blend coconut milk, maple syrup, matcha, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour into a bowl and whisk in chia seeds. Let sit for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally to avoid clumps.

    Pour the thickened matcha-chia mixture over the chilled base and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.

  • Top and Slice:
    Remove from pan and cut into bars. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, matcha powder, or lime zest if desired.
