Raspberry Matcha Muffins made vegan and gluten-free in one bowl and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Top with more raspberries!

Annnnnnd the holiday baking continues!

These Raspberry Matcha Muffins are sort of “accidentally festive”, but I decided to go with it, because, ’tis the season!

When I first shared these Matcha muffins on my Instagram page, a couple of you commented these muffins looked totally Grinchy.

I don’t disagree, friends!

So…don’t be a grinch.

Make a batch to share with your family, friends, and maybe little Cindy Lou-Who, too.

Matcha lovers, this one’s for you!

How to Make Raspberry Matcha Muffins

These muffins are easy to make in just one bowl!

First, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with muffin liners, or, alternatively, lightly grease with coconut or avocado oil.

In a large bowl, prepare your flax egg and allow it to sit for 5 minutes to gel.

Add the almond milk, almond milk yogurt, apple sauce, and maple syrup and stir everything to combine.

Next, sift in the oat flour, baking powder, and matcha powder and mix everything really well.

Divide the batter between lined muffin cups and top each muffin cup with several fresh raspberries!

Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes or until the muffins are lightly browned and the raspberry juices has mostly baked off (a little syrupy-ness is OK).

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Have You Tried Matcha?

I’ve been a coffee drinker for almost as long as I can remember.

Guzzling a mug of the black liquid was about the only thing I enjoyed on early high school mornings after the alarm went off at 5:30.

It’s still a ritual I look forward to every single morning.

Dan knows that if I haven’t had my coffee yet…he should approach with caution.

This year I finally decided to try Matcha.

A cup of Matcha brings mental concentration, emotional stability, composure of mind, and physical well being!

I can’t argue with results like that.

My favorite way to enjoy this Ceremonial Green Tea is in a Matcha Latte with frothy almond milk and slightly sweet from maple syrup.

Especially this time of year, there’s really nothing I love more than a mug full of something warm and steamy.

Except, of course, baking…

Eden Foods Organic Matcha

I love using Eden Foods Organic Matcha in this recipe because it’s organic, hand harvested, and stone ground green tea powder from Japan.

It’s basically green fairy-dust, friends.

The powder melts into the batter and makes the muffins a beautifully vibrant green.

Matcha’s emerald color is stunning vibrant and verdant and looks totally festive when paired with a fresh raspberry topping!

If you don’t have raspberries or prefer a fruit-free muffin, feel free to omit them for a solid Matcha Muffin recipe!

How to Serve Raspberry Matcha Muffins

Enjoy these as an energizing breakfast, snack, or anytime treat.

I think we should make a tin of them over Christmas break to fuel for festivities.

If your calendar looks like mine over the next few days (back-to-back family), we’re going to need a hot muffin minute.

(Although, I think they’re just as good cold as they are warm.)

I haven’t tried them yet with hot cocoa but I’m going to plant that seed because it sounds amazing.

Cheers!
