Ingredients
- All-purpose flour (1 ¾ cups)
- Granulated sugar (¾ cup)
- Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
- Salt (½ teaspoon)
- Matcha green tea powder (1 tablespoon)
- Milk (½ cup)
- Vegetable oil (⅓ cup)
- White chocolate chips (½ cup)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and matcha powder until the matcha is fully incorporated and the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg until they are well combined.
- Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until the batter is *just* combined—a few streaks of flour are acceptable to prevent tough muffins. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Step 5: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Keep cooled muffins airtight at room temperature for 2 days; freeze them for up to 3 months for peak freshness.
- Day-old muffins can be revived by warming them in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes, which slightly softens the white chocolate chips.
- For the best vibrant green color and delicate flavor, always use high-quality ceremonial or culinary-grade matcha powder.
- Serve warm alongside a strong cup of coffee or consider adding a quick drizzle of melted white chocolate for an extra layer of sweetness.
