Instructions
Make Matcha Muffin Base
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with liners.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy. Add the sour cream, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Make Matcha Streusel
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and matcha powder.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread the streusel mixture evenly over muffin batter
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
