Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup reduced-fat milk
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake your muffins evenly once the batter is prepared.
  2. Prepare Muffin Pan: Line a muffin pan with non-stick cupcake liners to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, matcha powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined to create a uniform base.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly blend the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, egg, and reduced-fat milk until smooth to incorporate all flavors.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the wet mixture, and gently mix with a wooden spoon until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep muffins tender.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the lined muffin cups and then sprinkle sweetened coconut flakes evenly on top for added texture and flavor.
  7. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, insert a toothpick into the center of a middle muffin.
  8. Check for Doneness: If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done; if not, bake for a few more minutes, then check again to avoid undercooked batter.
  9. Cool: Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps maintain their texture.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Substitute coconut oil with another mild vegetable oil if preferred.
  • Matcha powder quality affects flavor intensity; use culinary grade for best results.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
