10. Tip: If the batter seems thick, add a tablespoon more milk to loosen it up.
11. Tip: Check for doneness at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking—they should spring back lightly when touched.
Warm from the oven, these muffins have a soft, moist crumb with pops of nutty pistachio and a warm cardamom aroma. Try serving them with a dollop of honey butter or crumbled over yogurt for a fun twist.
Matcha Mint Vitality Muffins
Hey, have you ever wanted a muffin that feels like a little wellness boost in your pocket? These Matcha Mint Vitality Muffins are just that—a perfect blend of earthy matcha and refreshing mint that’s surprisingly easy to whip up for a quick, energizing treat.
Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons of baking powder
– ½ teaspoon of salt
– 2 tablespoons of matcha powder
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup of milk
– ½ cup of vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– A handful of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and matcha powder until well combined.
3. In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined—be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
5. Fold in the chopped mint leaves until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These muffins come out with a soft, moist crumb and a vibrant green hue from the matcha, with the mint adding a subtle, cooling note that pairs perfectly with a morning coffee. Try serving them warm with a dollop of honey or crumbled over yogurt for a creative breakfast twist—they’re so good, you might just forget they’re packed with goodness!
