Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups finely ground almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup matcha powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup coconut butter

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs, 2/3 cup of full-fat canned coconut milk, 1/2 cup of avocado oil, and 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine 3 cups of finely ground almond flour, 1/2 cup of coconut sugar, 1/2 cup of matcha powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want a few lumps for a perfect texture.
  5. If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now for a sweet surprise in every bite.
  6. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. If desired, add a dollop of coconut butter on top of each muffin for added richness.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy these Matcha Muffins warm or at room temperature.
