🍵 What Are Matcha Muffins?
Matcha muffins are a green tea twist on the classic muffin. They combine flour, eggs, milk, and sugar with a generous dose of matcha powder. The result is a moist, aromatic treat with a rich green hue and a naturally uplifting flavor.
You can enjoy them plain or add chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit for extra indulgence.

👩🍳 How to Make Matcha Muffins
1. Preheat the oven
Set oven to 175°C (350°F). Line or grease a muffin tin.
2. Combine dry ingredients
In a large bowl, sift together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine and fold
Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in optional add-ins if using.
5. Bake
Scoop batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and enjoy
Let muffins cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
