Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup tapioca flour or cornstarch
- ⅓ - ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp matcha powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl add maple syrup (suggest starting with ⅓), tahini and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk to combine until smooth.
- Add almond flour and starch (tapioca or corn, whichever you're using) and mix with spatula.
- Mix together until a dough forms. It should be moist, not sticky, and easily rollable. If you prefer a sweeter dough, can add more to bring the total to ½ c. maple syrup. You may need to adjust the flour measurements to ensure the correct consistency.
- Separate ⅓ of the dough to keep as is. Add the 2 tsp. matcha powder to the remaining ⅔ of the dough.
- Form turtles by using a large ball of green and using a fork to flatten crosswise. Use 6 white balls, 1 medium for the head, 4 small for the feet, and 1 tiny for the tail. Use a toothpick to poke eye holes in the head.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Can adjust for softness, but they will firm up when cool, so they will be slightly softer hot out of the oven.
- Dab the green shell with a tiny bit of maple syrup if you desire extra sweetness.
