Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ½ cup chopped pistachios
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line your muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and evenly distributed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk (or buttermilk), vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and uniform.
  4. Fold Wet into Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender muffin crumb.
  5. Add Pistachios and White Chocolate: Fold in the chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely—or enjoy them slightly warm for a melting white chocolate experience.

Notes

  • Use high-quality culinary-grade matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough, dense muffins.
  • Chop pistachios uniformly to ensure consistent texture and slight toasting during baking.
  • Bring eggs and milk to room temperature for better mixing and rise.
  • Test muffins for doneness starting at 18 minutes to prevent overbaking.
