Notes

Use a good quality culinary grade matcha to make these matcha muffins. The colour of the matcha should be a rich vibrant green.

Make sure the tbsp of baking powder is level when measured.ย 

While you can use whole grain flour, (or a mix of half white and half whole grain) keep in mind this may alter the final colour of the muffins.

Let the coconut oil cool completely before mixing it with the egg. Otherwise, the heat from the coconut oil will cook the egg.

Use full-fat coconut milk from a can for best results.
