Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Matcha powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
Equipment: Muffin tin, Mixing bowl, Wire rack
The Matcha powder brings the unique tea flavor to the muffins and that beautiful green color. The softened unsalted butter adds the right amount of fatty goodness without making the treats overly oily. If you���d prefer, you could use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour or almond milk instead of regular for a healthier, nuttier twist!
How To Make Matcha Muffins
- Start off by preheating your oven to 375��F (190��C) and lining the muffin tin with paper liners. While that’s starting to warm up, take a mixing bowl, add in your all-purpose flour, Matcha powder and baking powder. Give it a good whisk to combine all the dry ingredients.
- Next, in a separate bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter and sugar until it reaches a creamy consistency. Once that���s done, add eggs one at a time, and make sure to beat well after each egg.
- Now it’s time to combine everything. Add the dry ingredients you prepared earlier to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Keep in mind to begin and end with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – over mixing can lead to tough muffins.
- Finally, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Tips For The Best Results
- Don’t over mix the batter.
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature.
- Test your muffins are fully cooked with a toothpick.
Storage Tips
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
- Can be frozen for up to 1 month.
