Green Tea Muffins

they are tasty! i only made a half batch, i added 1.5 tsp matcha and i liked the flavor, not too strong. i ended up adding a bit of vanilla because i wanted to, and a little extra baking powder because it was suggested by another commenter. i also baked them at 375° for 20 minutes instead of 350° for 25, also as suggested by another commenter.

I’ve made these twice and the second time was a charm. Lol. I tripled the matcha powder, used 50% more sugar and substituted rice milk for regular milk. Deelish!!!

Turned out well, I ended up using more matcha than the recommended amount and increased the baking powder to 1.5 teaspoons to get a little more lift. Also baked at 375 for about 20 minutes vs 350 for 25 minutes.

Tasted like pancakes, I followed the recipe to a T, did not turn out good at all

Tasted ok

These were pretty dry and bland. Next time I make Matcha Muffins I think I’ll tweak this a bit to see if it works out better the second time around.

I agree with the others that this turns out pretty dense but I found that using cake flour makes it fluffy if you want to avoid that (I also reduced the amount of butter). Also agree that the matcha needs to be doubled to get that flavor. You definitely need to sift the flour and matcha together otherwise you’ll get matcha lumps. Pretty average recipe otherwise but I liked it because it was simple.

My kids love green tea this recipe hit the spot. My 12 year old insisted it tasted just like a muffin version of her favorite green tea mochi. I made them exactly how written and chose to add the optional walnuts.

Really good. I used olive oil instead of butter and added black sesame. Yum.

Super easy! We usually go vegan, so I substituted the egg with tofu, and increased the matcha to1 1/2 tbsp, for more flavor. They came out great!

Really delicious! Made this recipe with a few adjustments suggested by others in the review section. Here’s what I did. 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 Tablespoon matcha powder 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 egg 1 cup milk 1/3 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla

Thanks to other reviewers’ suggestions, I used 1 1/2c flour, 1.5T Green tea powder, 1.5t Baking powder, skipped the nuts and baked at 350 degree for 20 min. It came out perfect! Kind of cakey instead of a dense muffin, but I like it. I did decrease to 1/3c sugar because of my family’s taste, it’s just lightly sweet, and we can smell the fragrant green tea. Not sure if this made a difference, I creamed the butter with sugar first, than beat in egg, finally mixed in milk and powders.

The muffins were ok, but I couldn’t taste the green tea flavor at all. They tasted like regular muffins, except they looked green. Probably wouldn’t make it again.

The muffin didn’t taste like muffin nor did it raise like one. It was dense, kind of like a mochi.

I was very unpleased with this recipe. The result was very very dense, even thought I increased the baking powder to 1 and half tsp. As many people mentioned dryness, I reduced the flour to 1 and half cups. It wasn’t dry, but it was just so dense that it couldn’t have been dry anyway. I like my green tea taste a little stronger, so I increased the powder to 3 tablespoons. That was probably the only saving grace of the whole result- it had a nice green tea flavor. But this recipe is not even worth retrying, there are so many better recipes out there that won’t yield such a dense result without a bunch of modifications. Very disappointing.

I am a newbie in baking, but it was so delicious. I followed the steps exactly! 🙂 thank you for the recipe! :))

First, thanks for sharing the recipe. However, it is not a good recipe for me. I have added the double amount of the matcha green tea powder(around 2-1/2 tbsp), but it came out no taste of it. They don’t really look like “muffins”. The “muffin” is really chewy, not the texture of a muffin/cake. Anyways, thanks for the recipe!

My co-workers loved these! They are a very moist and dense muffin, but it works well! I did use oil instead of butter and added about a tablespoon of vanilla.

not impressed

After following the recipe to a “T” (which is how I think these recipes should always be reviewed), there’s really not a lot of flavor to these. Personally I couldn’t taste the matcha in them at all, just a slight hint of sugar. I’d definitely double up the green tea next time. These did bake up nicely in 25 mins though, very moist and no hint of brown, just a pretty green colour.

Quite tasty! I used agave nectar to sweeten instead of sugar, I also replaced 2/3 cup of all purpose flour with whole grain flour. (wanted this to be a healthier option for my 3 year old to snack on) You can really taste the Matcha, yum!
