Matcha Muffins

Light and fluffy muffins infused with vibrant matcha green tea flavor, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted unsalted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the milk, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a slightly sweeter top, dust muffins with a little extra sugar immediately after baking.
  • Substitute almond milk or oat milk for dairy milk to make them dairy-free; use a dairy-free yogurt.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze cooled muffins in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the oven.
