Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend for gluten-free version)
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality matcha powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for vegan version)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chopped pistachios (unsalted or lightly salted)
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips (dairy-free white chocolate or carob chips for vegan version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. Chop pistachios and white chocolate chips if needed, and gather all ingredients for easy access.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), matcha powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to ensure consistent flavor and rising.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Then add the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.
  5. Add Pistachios and White Chocolate: Fold in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for a balanced crunch and sweetness.
  6. Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup approximately 3/4 full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-grade matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
  • Gently toast pistachios before adding to enhance their flavor without burning.
  • Use eggs and milk at room temperature for a smooth batter and even baking.
  • Ensure oven temperature is accurate to bake muffins evenly and achieve a perfect dome.
