Matcha Choc Chip Muffins ~ 抹茶巧克力玛芬
This is the first time that I am using self-raising flour to make muffins. Normally I would use plain flour with baking powder or baking soda but as I ran out of plain flour and only had self-raising flour at hand, I resorted to use this instead. The result was just as good. This muffin is moist and soft and the chocolate buttons paired well with the green tea flavour. I dusted them with some icing sugar to give them a more appealing look.
Ingredients
- 280 gm self-raising flour
- 2 ‘L’eggs
- 140 gm caster sugar
- 140 gm oil
- 1 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp Matcha/Green Tea powder
- 60 gm chocolate buttons (extra chocolate buttons to sprinkle on top)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Sift flour, green tea powder and salt, set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, break in 2 eggs, add sugar and using a ball whisk, whisk till light and creamy
- Add in oil, mix well. Add in milk and whisk till fully incorporated.
- Stir in the sifted flour and green tea powder. Fold in the chocolate buttons, till moistened. Do not overmix.
- Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the mixture into a lined muffin pan till 3/4 full.
- Bake in a preheated oven @ 210 deg.C for 5 mins., then switch to 180 deg.C for 15 to 20 mins. Test with a skewer till it comes out clean or with a bit of crumbs. Overbaking will result dense and tough muffins.
- Remove the muffins from the oven, let cool for about 5 mins. before letting them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Yield : 12 muffins
