Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp matcha powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: almond milk and maple syrup. Stir them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; you want the ingredients to be just combined.
- Once the batter is mixed, spoon it evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This will allow space for the muffins to rise while baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Vegan Gluten Free Matcha Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
Tips
- Sift your gluten-free flour and matcha powder together to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter and even color distribution.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to dense, tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a light matcha glaze on top of your cooled muffins.
- Use fresh, high-quality matcha powder for the most vibrant color and richest flavor.
- If you want to add some texture, consider folding in some chopped nuts or dairy-free chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
- Store muffins in an airtight container to maintain their moisture and freshness.
