Matcha Chocolate Banana Muffins
Description
The batter starts with stirring dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, and optional cinnamon—in a bowl. Meanwhile, mashed bananas are mixed with eggs, avocado or vegetable oil, sour cream or Greek yogurt, sugar, and vanilla to provide moisture and richness. The wet mixture is folded into the dry ingredients without overmixing to maintain a tender texture. Matcha chocolate chips add distinctive green tea flavor and sweetness.
Portioned into muffin liners and baked for 20-22 minutes, the muffins develop a light golden crust while staying soft inside. The toothpick test ensures they are baked with a slightly crumbly interior without being underdone.
These muffins can be served at room temperature as a breakfast option or snack with a mild green tea aroma complementing the banana and chocolate flavors.
The notes mention that the muffins freeze well for up to three months and can be reheated briefly in the microwave for convenience.
