Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix sugar and melted butter until combined.
  4. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped pistachios.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  8. Sprinkle extra pistachios on top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use culinary-grade matcha for the best flavor and color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
