Matcha Chocolate Banana Muffins
Muffins with caffeine?! YES PLEASE. These Matcha Chocolate Banana Muffins are fluffy, sweet, and filled my favorite morning tea - MATCHA. Matcha is an antioxidant powerhouse! It has less caffeine than coffee, and gives you more of a sustained energy. These muffins are made with simple whole food ingredients like almond flour, eggs, raw cacao powder, and coconut oil! Great for anyone who is gluten-free, dairy-free, or on a Paleo diet!

Your Matcha powder does not have to be ceremonial grade! You can use baking grade - it's cheaper, and works great for baking or cooking! Ceremonial grade is used for matcha lattes because it's less bitter, and more smooth in a latte!

I followed the recipe exactly except I substituted one of the cups of almond flour for whole wheat flour. Oh, and used regular cocoa powder.
I personally didn't care for the result. I found the muffins quite dry and wished I had baked them for less time (I did 16 minutes). However, I brought them to an event and got positive feedback from others about them.
Overall, I do like the idea of the matcha and chocolate together. I actually ran a knife around in the batter before putting the tray in the oven, just to give it a little bit of a swirl effect.
Huge matcha fan!! Loved this combination.
