Chocolate Matcha Muffins
October 21, 2007 at 6:49 am | In recipe |
if the instructions don’t make sense, holler at me: I have a cold and my head mistakenly won several awards for largest pumpkin EVER.
try the simple chocolate version here
makes 6 big muffins
1 cup whole wheat flour [not pastry]
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 t sea salt
1 cup powdered sugar
2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
2 t matcha powder
1 t baking soda
5 T applesauce
1 t apple cider vinegar
1 scant t pure vanilla extract
1 scant t pure almond extract
1/2 cup chocolate soy milk
1/2 cup plain or vanilla soy milk
1/3 cup dairy free chocolate chips
preheat oven to 350F, prepare a jumbo muffin pan with non stick cooking spray.
in a large bowl, sift together: flours, salt, sugar, and baking soda.
place half of flour mixture in another large bowl.
in one of the bowl, add cocoa powder and chocolate chips. in a small bowl, stir together 2 1/2 T apple sauce, 1/2 t vinegar, vanilla extract, and chocolate soy milk.
in the remaining large bowl filled with 1/2 flour mixture, add matcha powder.
in another small bowl, stir together 2 1/2 T apple sauce, 1/2 t vinegar, almond extract, and plain or vanilla soy milk.
combine cocoa-ed flour with chocolate soy milk mixture.
combine matcha-ed flour with plain soy milk mixture.
stir well but don’t overmix.
with a couple of 1/3 measuring cups, pour cocoa and matcha batters simultaneously in prepared muffin tin, keeping them separated. proceed with all 6 tins. be sure to keep the batter levels equal for the muffins to bake evenly.
gently stir with a toothpick in order to create a swirly look.
bake for 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. let cool in the pan on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes before attempting to remove.

Oh no! You’re sick too? The past few days I’ve been incapicitated with a sinus infection, nothing’s been making much sense to me either!
Get well soon!

You know how much I love the plain chocolate version of this. I have to get some matcha powder and give this one a try! Can you get that at Trader Joe’s?

oh no Ash! you feeling ill again? get better soon, you poor thing!
Sarena: sadly no, you can’t find Matcha at TJ’s, at least not at the one I go to. I ordered mine from Amazon but like I mentioned in another comment, cannot recommend ordering the brand in question as the packaging leaves a lot to desire.
if you have a Whole Foods or Wild Oats nearby, I *think* you might be able to find some there.
thank you A-K!

Wow, they even look super low-fat. I am not a big chocolate muffin pereson, I wonder how they would be as just vanilla-matcha muffins?

Jennifer, you can go to that site and type in the word matcha to read about it.

I’m so happy the recipe came out nicely and they are delicious! I added a little bit more matcha powder since I love the taste of it… added some dark chocolate chunk pieces to the cocoa half + almond slices to the matcha half.
