Introduction
A matcha made in heaven… the slight bitterness of matcha marries with the sweetness of our Lindt EXCELLENCE White Chocolate with a Touch of Vanilla to create these moreish muffins. A delicious grab-and-go breakfast or brilliant bake for a grown-up gathering; from coffee mornings to office birthdays.
Ingredients
| 200g | self-raising flour |
| 125g | caster sugar |
| Pinch of | salt |
| 1½ tbsp | matcha powder, plus extra for dusting |
| 1 large | egg |
| 65ml | vegetable oil |
| 125ml | whole milk |
| 75g | Lindt White Chocolate with a Touch of Vanilla, roughly chopped, plus 50g melted, for drizzling |
Method
Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C Fan/Gas 3. Line a muffin tin with 8 larger muffin cases or 10 small paper cases and set aside.
Whisk the flour, sugar, salt and matcha powder together in a large bowl.
Add in the egg, oil and milk and mix until you have a smooth batter.
Fold in 50g of the chopped chocolate — taking care not to overmix — ensuring the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout.
Fill the muffin cases so they’re three-quarters full and sprinkle the remaining 25g of chopped chocolate on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until a skewer inserted into the middle of the muffins comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Finish with a drizzle of melted white chocolate and a sprinkling of matcha powder.
Chocolatier’s tip: If you like intense flavour combinations, swap our EXCELLENCE White Chocolate with a Touch of Vanilla for our decadent EXCELLENCE 70% Dark Chocolate.
