Elevate your morning routine with these delightful Green Tea Muffins, a perfect blend of sweetness and earthy matcha flavor. Infused with vibrant matcha green tea powder, these muffins boast a unique hue and a delicate, subtly bitter taste that pairs beautifully with the warm vanilla and just-right sweetness from granulated sugar. With a quick 10-minute prep time, these easy-to-make treats are ideal for busy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up. Moist and fluffy, thanks to milk and vegetable oil, each bite offers a soft, tender crumb that melts in your mouth. Whether served straight from the oven or enjoyed at room temperature, these homemade muffins are a wholesome, elegant addition to any tea time or brunch spread.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
