Matcha Chocolate Chip Muffins

Matcha Chocolate Chip Muffins are dangerously addictive, I warned you. I baked this during a late-night baking session, and finished almost 3 muffins all by myself. It’s soft and fluffy, with gooey chocolate chips melting on top of the muffins.

Have you ever wonder what does matcha taste like? Matcha is a very unique flavour and hard to describe. It’s slightly bitter and not commonly acceptable by locals in the UK. I can’t remember when is my first encounter with “Matcha” or “green tea”; but once I tried it, it is forever engraved in my mind. My mum could never fathom my love for matcha… Just like how I could never understand her persistent love for gardening!

DO NOT, let me repeat it again, DO NOT compromise on the quality of your Matcha powder. I got myself a premium matcha powder at half price at Japan centre. It does make a difference when you are mixing matcha powder with your mixture. With a lower quality one, it tends to form several rocky, small bubble, that is so stubborn that, no matter how many times you stir it, it will not dissolve. How frustrating it is?! Right? Your problem could be resolved by simply making any matcha-related products using a premium version of matcha – it just made your life so much easy and you always wanted to deliver a premium product to your customer right?
