Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons matcha powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a muffin tray with muffin liners and set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add Matcha: Sift the matcha powder into the dry ingredients to remove any clumps, then whisk thoroughly to evenly distribute the matcha throughout the mixture. For a stronger matcha flavor, you can add an extra teaspoon.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract directly into the dry ingredient bowl. Gently stir with a spatula until the batter is just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add White Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips evenly into the batter, ensuring they are well distributed without overworking the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Liners: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each to the top. Optionally, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top of each muffin to add a slight crunch and sweetness.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tray. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
