Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ½ cup chopped pistachios
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Cream butter and eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a light base for the batter.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  4. Fold in pistachios and white chocolate: Carefully stir in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chunks to ensure even distribution without breaking them down.
  5. Bake to perfection: Spoon the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ceremonial or culinary grade matcha powder for the best flavor and color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; fold gently.
  • Ensure butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature for smooth blending.
  • Toast the pistachios lightly beforehand to enhance their nutty aroma.
  • Start checking muffins at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking and maintain moistness.
