Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners to ensure easy removal and clean presentation.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until uniformly combined. This ensures even flavor and proper leavening.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. These ingredients add moisture and richness to the batter.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your muffins tender.
  5. Fold in Pistachios and White Chocolate: Stir in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips carefully to evenly distribute bits that will melt and crunch delightfully.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy these Pistachio White Chocolate Matcha Muffins warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use Quality Matcha: Choose a culinary-grade matcha for the best color and flavor intensity.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mixing until just combined keeps muffins from turning tough or dense.
  • Chop Nuts Evenly: Uniform-sized pistachios prevent sinking and distribute flavor throughout.
  • Check Oven Temperature: Baking at the correct temperature ensures even cooking and moist results.
  • Let Muffins Rest: Cooling before serving helps flavors to settle and the white chocolate to set perfectly.
