Matcha Coconut Bars

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Matcha green tea and flakey coconut combine inside a snappy dark chocolate shell to create an easy sweet vegan + paleo treat with just 6 ingredients!

Matcha Coconut Bars (vegan + paleo)

Inspired by the ever so delicious Matcha Boom Bars from a company called Nanuki that I discovered while visiting Cape Town (that sadly don’t ship to the US *insert sobbing emoji here*), these chocolate covered matcha bars are the perfect not too sweet but still decadent way to eat matcha for dessert.

Matcha and coconut combine to create the gorgeous green inside, and then we hide all of that inside a silky dark chocolate coating. If you’ve never tried matcha with chocolate I highly recommend. And I highly recommend you start with THESE bars.

I can’t claim my homemade version is AS good as Nanuki, but they are pretty damn delish!

    You’ve done it again, Natalie! I have gotten SUPER picky about my matcha because the purest form tastes superior to all the others (including culinary!). These bars look absolutely addictive–I can imagine how delicious the filling AND the melted chocolate was! 🙂

      Yes quality makes SO much difference when it comes to matcha. I hate when you got to a coffee shop and order matcha and it’s just awful lol😜😂 Encha is awesome in my opinion, and especially delicious in chocolate covered bar form😋 Hope you give them a try!

    Do you know if sweetened coconut flakes would work? I only have sweetened but these are calling my name!

      That will work, yes! Just make the filling a little sweeter, but they aren’t overly sweet as is so it will be fine 🙂

    Hi! I just stumbled upon your AMAZING website while I was Pinteresting and I’ve been looking at just your site for at least an hour and I got on Pinterest to look at hair ideas but this just sucked me in! Lol Anyway, I really want to try matcha but I don’t have any and hate to buy an entire container just to try it so may I ask what it tastes like and is it gritty at all?! I’ll take all the help I can get before I buy some! Thanks and thank you so much for sharing so much on your website!

      Hahaha oh how Pinterest has a way of taking us on tangents we didn’t even know we needed😆 But matcha is definitely one of those ingredients where quality and brand makes a HUGE difference! Personally Encha is my go-to and has been for years. I usually buy their latte grade, very mild non bitter grassy flavor and not gritty at all. It’s a little expensive, but you can get it on amazon! https://encha.com/products/vegan-latte-grade-organic-matcha

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation. Recipe below…

Crust
-1 package Emmy’s Organics Dark Cacao Cookies
-1/4 cup (30g) almond flour
-2 tbsp (50g) coconut oil
Filling
-2 cups (360g) raw cashews, soaked 3+ hours then drained

Blend the filling ingredients until very smooth and creamy. Pour on top of the crust. Combine berries, coconut sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently until it begins to thicken and become syrupy. Smash with a fork until the berries are mostly broken down.  Spoon on top of the cheesecake mixture and use the back of a spoon to swirl. Freeze overnight. Slice into bars and enjoy. Keep leftovers in the freezer.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
