Matcha and White Chocolate Chip Muffins

Matcha and White Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

  • Matcha powder:Use good quality matcha from a trusted brand. Make sure it is bright green in color and has a fresh aroma.
  • Cake flour:I use cake flour for a light and fluffy crumb, but this recipe works perfectly well with all purpose flour if it’s more accessible.
  • Plain natural yogurt:The acidity in the yogurt reacts with the baking soda to make the muffins extra fluffy. I opt for no-added sugar, but vanilla yogurt and greek yogurt also work well. You can also swap it for buttermilk if you like.
