Light and Fluffy Matcha Lemon Muffins

Happy St. Paddy’s Day…Eve, y’all!!! Is anyone else getting ready for their St. Patrick’s Day celebration?? Well, I for one am excited! I love any holiday because it gives me a reason to celebrate…and bake sweet treats!! Yum!

In my younger days, St. Paddy’s Day meant late nights filled with bar-hopping and green beer. I’m not even a beer drinker, but I just had to try it! I mean, who turns down green beer! Lol!! These days, I celebrate St. Paddy’s Day with my family; usually baking something sweet and coordinating my kids’ green outfits for school! I know, I’m a real party animal! Lol!

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 ¼ tbsp Enzo's Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• Juice of 1 lemon
• ½ tsp lemon zest
• Lemon Drizzle (Optional)
• ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
• 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, matcha, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together milk, vanilla, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
4. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined but be careful not to over-stir. Over-stirring will result in tough, dense muffins.
5. Add muffins liners to muffin tins or spray tins with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin tins and bake for approximately 15-17 minutes or until fork comes out clean.
7. Transfer to wire rack.
8. Optional: For lemon drizzle, mix confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice until desired consistency. Drizzle lightly over muffins and let muffins sit until drizzle slightly hardens.
9. Enjoy!
