Matcha Green Tea Chocolate Chip Muffins
With a subtle hint of green tea and chocolate flavors, too plus a natural vibrant green color these moist and tender muffins are great for tea time or any time you fancy a sweet snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose Flour
- 3-4 teaspoons Matcha Green Tea powder, depends on how green you want the muffins to be
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder,
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Vanilla or plain Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Coconut or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet dark or white Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Place the muffin liners in a 12-cup muffin pan plus another 6-cup regular muffin tin (if making 18).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, green tea powder, baking powder and salt. Whisk together. Set aside.
- In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the yogurt, sugar, oil and vanilla extract and stir until blended. Mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pans. Divide evenly among the 12 or 18 cups. Use an ice cream scooper for equal distribution. One large scoop per cup can fill up to 18 liners.
- Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes for the bigger muffins and about 18-20 minutes for the smaller ones or until a tester inserted in the center of the muffins come out clean. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
