Matcha Muffins
The house has never been so clean…probably since we moved in years ago. We’ve been doing a lot of cleaning (and more importantly throwing away) this month.
One good thing that has come out of this is that I’m finding ingredients tucked away in the cupboards that I’ve forgotten about.
In this recipe I’m trying out some matcha powder that I picked up at Shirokiya a while ago.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons matcha powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 to 1 1/4 cups milk (skim or plain soy)
Basically combine the dry ingredients then the wet ingredients and mix everything together. Pour into a greased muffin pan and stick it in the oven.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes.
If you don’t eat ‘em up right out of the oven, store them in the fridge. When you’re ready for a snack, warm it up in the toaster for that fresh out of the oven taste and texture.
As a side note, these are on the dense side due to the whole wheat flour and reduced butter and sugar. If you want it to taste like something from the bakery, you’ll need to add a little more sugar.
For me though, it was fine. Reminded me of a green tea English muffin, but in the shape of a regular muffin.

yum these look and sound great, isn’t amazing what you can find in the back of the cupboards? I’ve found a lot of hidden ingredients that way too.
Hey kat,
Thanks! I’m lucky that this time the things I found were still within the “Use By” date.
Matcha is such the in thing…I have to get some! Looks so cool.
You would be shocked if you saw the small space that I have for storing dried foods! I was so concerned with having “american size” appliances that I didn’t take into consideration where I was gonna put the food.
Love the color of those muffins.
Hey noble pig,
My favorite was some green tea ice cream I had in Japan, so delicious!
Hey rowena,
My kitchen is the opposite of yours. Packed with food and no room for appliances!
I have got to get my hands on some matcha powder, too. I’m always late to the party, lol.
These look delicious! I think I’d butter them and drizzle with some honey…mmm!
Hey Elle,
Toasted up with some butter and honey sounds great!
Those matcha muffins look great!
Thanks Kevin!
