Banana Coconut Matcha (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Goods

01 - 2 cups of plain flour
02 - 1½ teaspoons of baking powder
03 - ¼ teaspoon of salt
04 - 2 tablespoons of matcha tea powder

→ Liquids

05 - Two very ripe bananas
06 - A third of a cup of sugar
07 - A quarter cup of melted coconut oil
08 - 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
09 - 1 large egg
10 - 1 cup of full-fat milk

→ Optional Finish

11 - ¼ cup of sweetened coconut flakes (you don’t have to use this)

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F and let it warm up.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, toss together the flour, matcha, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a second bowl, smash up the bananas. Stir in the sugar, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla until it’s all blended nicely.
04 - Pour the milk into your banana mix and give it a stir. Add the dry mixture a bit at a time, folding gently just until everything is mixed.
05 - Spoon the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups that you’ve greased or lined with paper. Sprinkle on the coconut flakes if you’re using them.
06 - Pop the tray in the oven for 20–22 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool in the tin for 15 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

# Notes:

01 - For the best taste, stick to virgin coconut oil.
02 - You can swap out the coconut oil for butter if you prefer.
03 - Using whole milk makes these the richest.
04 - The coconut flakes on top are totally optional.
