Trying to introduce a new thing into my routine. I love green tea but by the time I finish my coffee the morning is over and I don't like to have caffeinated teas in the afternoon, so this was a good option for me.
Make sure the water is brought up to a roling boil! So the powder dissolves fully. Today I added a bit of orange rind and a packet of stevia. Very yummy! I like the idea of fruit teas, but they always hurt my teeth, so this was a nice way to get that orange taste without all the acid that comes with it.
Ideas for Matcha Green Tea Powder I love Udi’s blueberry muffins, but they have quite a bit of sugar in them. So I had the idea to use matcha in my baking. I was tinkering around and came up with the most moist and delish banana bread muffins!
Ingredients: 4 packets of stevia
2 packets of dried banana chips, broken in pieces
4 tablespoons of white corn flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of melted coconut powder
1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
2 eggs, or egg substitute
the zest of one orange
the juice of one orange
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup, or ¼ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
Ice cream scoop
Four silicon muffin liners or a microwave safe plastic or pyrex glass 4 count muffin tin
Makes 4 muffins
Directions:
Melt coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for 20-40 seconds
Combine all ingredients in the bowl except banana chips
Whisk all together until a stiff batter forms
Crush banana chips while still in their packaging, then open the bag
Fold in banana chips until evenly distributed
Scoop the batter into the muffin cups using the ice cream scoop
Use a silicon spatula to get the last of the batter if needed
Bake in the microwave for 3 minutes or until firm
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin liner or microwave safe glass bakeware
use a fork or offset spatula to gently lift muffins out of the bakeware
Set on a plate and pull apart to reveal soft tender middle
Serve with strawberry jam or butter or vegetable butter substitute spread
Tip:
Instead of banana, try a tablespoon of 100% unsweetened cocoa powder and add red food coloring for a sweet gluten-free red velvet cake muffin.
Thanks for watching! I'll see you next week.
