These Matcha Banana Coconut Muffins are a delightful fusion of tropical flavors with a hint of matcha. The ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture, while the matcha brings a subtle earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the coconut flakes. Each muffin is soft, fluffy, and topped with crunchy sweetened coconut flakes, making them the perfect treat for breakfast or a mid-day snack.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon matcha powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 cup reduced-fat milk
2 ripe bananas, mashed
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon 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, baking powder, matcha powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, blend the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, egg, and milk.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently mix with a wooden spoon until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about ¾ full.
Sprinkle sweetened coconut flakes on top of each muffin for a crunchy, sweet finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and set aside to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
