Ingredients

  • 1 and 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 and 1/4 tbsp Matcha Green Tea Powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk, or regular milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • Juice of 1 lemon (mine yielded about 1/4 cup of juice)
  • ½ tsp lemon zest

Lemon Drizzle (Optional)

  • ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, matcha, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together milk, vanilla, egg, oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  • Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined but be careful not to over-stir. Over-stirring will result in tough, dense muffins.
  • Add muffins liners to muffin tins or spray tins with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin tins and bake for approximately 15-17 minutes or until fork comes out clean.
  • Transfer to wire rack.
  • Optional: For lemon drizzle, mix confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice until desired consistency. Drizzle lightly over muffins and let muffins sit until drizzle slightly hardens.
  • Enjoy!
