Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup reduced-fat milk

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes


Instructions

 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper or silicone liners.

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  • In a separate bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, egg, and milk until smooth.

  • Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined—do not overmix.

  • Evenly divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

  • Sprinkle sweetened coconut flakes over the tops of each muffin.

  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
