Get into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day with these Fluffy Matcha Lemon Muffins! These muffins are soft, fluffy (hence the name), and packed with matcha and lemon flavor. Besides, they are so easy and quick to make. Ready in under 30 minutes, with only 8 minutes of prep time, this recipe is a perfect way to get kids involved in cooking.
These muffins require basic pantry staples and two additional ingredients like almond milk and matcha. You can make almond milk at home using our quick and simple recipe, or sub it with regular milk. For this recipe, I call for a culinary grade matcha, which is less bitter. I like to top these with a simple lemon glaze that complements the earthy flavor of matcha and adds freshness.
To make the Fluffy Matcha Lemon Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 375 °F and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with oil; set aside.
In a bowl, mix together 1¾ cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1¼ tablespoon matcha powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup sugar.
In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ¼ cup oil, 1 egg, ¼ cup lemon juice, and ½ tsp lemon zest.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined.
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin pan.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Meanwhile, stir together ½ cup confectioners’ sugar and 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice until desired consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over and allow it to set up.
Serve as a wonderful afternoon snacking or easy sweet dessert!
