Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup reduced-fat milk
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin pan with non-stick cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, blend the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, egg, and milk until smooth.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle sweetened coconut flakes on top of each muffin.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using coconut milk instead of reduced-fat milk.
- These muffins freeze well; store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- For added sweetness, mix in white chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
