These White chocolate matcha muffins should please you very much for breakfast and afternoon tea! We love their pretty green color thanks to the matcha tea and their large white chocolate chips.
I added some oatmeal (in addition to the flour) for a healthy side, perfect for a little snack. The dough itself is not very sweet. The texture of the muffins is very light, you can easily eat several of them...
How to make these matcha tea muffins?
For the dough, I started with a classic muffin base to which I added a touch of matcha tea powder. It is now easily found in organic stores. Matcha brings a little hint of bitterness (and its pretty green color) counterbalanced by the addition of White chocolateThe whole thing is intentionally not very sweet - but that's exactly what I like!
The texture of these muffins is particularly soft, the top is slightly crispy (result of a high temperature at the start of cooking). If you like muffins, I'm sure you'll be won over.
As is generally the case with muffins, it is advisable not to do not over mix the dough, to ensure optimal results.
Possible variations for this recipe
As a replacement for white chocolate, you can put dark chocolate. Matcha and dark chocolate also work great!
It is possible to enhance the recipe by adding macadamia nuts crushed for example.
If you like muffins, then I can only advise you to take a look at these recipes as well: Soft chocolate muffins Chocolate banana muffins, the Lemon poppy muffins.

I find these little muffins very tempting...
I'll try right away but it seems that there is an omission: in the list of ingredients there is white chocolate and throughout the recipe it is no longer mentioned.
so I take the initiative and I pay the end in shavings, we'll see....
Yes indeed! I just modified the recipe now :)
Very pretty !
I would try it, I like the idea of using oatmeal :)
Your recipe is so cool! Plus I have everything on hand and since I won't have time to go shopping tonight after work, it's perfect timing :)
They look super appetizing, honestly it's a very good idea, thanks for the recipe :)
Oh my, they look so good!
The muffins are delicious.
On the other hand, for the butter, it is not specified, is it melted or soft butter that should be added to the preparation?
The dough is quite compact and difficult to mix, I don't know if this is normal or not.
I managed to get 12 muffins out of this recipe.
In any case it is very good.
Hi Anita, so it's softened butter that you beat with sugar so that the mixture is creamy. This muffin batter is quite compact, which is what creates its texture after baking. See you soon :)
