Nutty.
If I had to choose one word to describe these muffins it would be nutty. I wouldn’t call them a sweet muffin but they aren’t quite a savory muffin. Just Nutty. Avocados, matcha powder, coconut oil, and whole wheat flour are all nutty by themselves, but combine them together and you better believe that is some intense nutty flavor.
I HIGHLY recommend you eat this oven fresh out of the oven and slathered with almond butter or sunflower butter. Just so you can reach the 5th degree of nuttiness
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup spelt flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
1 cup avocado (~2 medium avocados)
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
3/4 cup almond milk + 1 tablespoon, separated
2 eggs
15 drops of stevia ( I used NuNaturals)
Directions
Preheat oven to 325ºF
Sift together flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and matcha green tea powder in a large bowl. Be sure to sift because matcha green tea powder tends to clump up.
Purée avocado and 1 tablespoon of almond milk together in a blender, magic bullet, or food processor. (If you don’t have any of these kitchen appliances, I am willing to imagine that a fork and some muscle will be just fine.) Make sure the avocado mash reaches a smooth consistency with no clumps. In a different mixing bowl combine avocado mash, coconut oil, almond milk, eggs, and stevia. Mix together well. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until everything is incorporated.
Spoon batter into muffin tin.
Bake for 22-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
Yields 12 muffins.






You are the bread queen. I feel like these would be fantastic with chili or soup. Mmmmmm. I love bread so much.
Agreed. Bread = my #1 favorite thing to make. I really just can’t resist anything carby and fresh out of the oven
I have never even tried matcha before, so interesting
Interesting about the avacados…I honestly had no idea these combinations even existed but boy does it look good.
Mmmmmmm. Those look divine! Where did you get the green tea powder? I bet the powder, avocado and a banana would make tasty pudding too!

I got it at a little Japanese store, but I’ve also seen it at my local food co-op
I really need to check out this co-op idea
Ohh baby– I think it would be a crime not to eat these immediately after coming out of the oven, even if it means burning your tongue. And the idea of slathering it in sunbutter? I’m salivating…
You’re such a littttle chef! I’m loving all your recipes lately. These muffins look great, but as embarrassed as I am to say it, I don’t like avocados…gasp, I know. I’m like the only one on this earth
What a cool idea! Love all the green ingredients
Yummmm this is such a unique recipe. I’ve never cooked with or eaten/drank anything with matcha green tea powder, but I do love green tea. I’ll have to experiment!
You said nutty. Like a bazillion times. I love it.
Yum sounds like an amazing flavor combo! where do you get your matcha green tea powder?
Thank you! I got my green tea powder at a little Japanese store, but I have also seen it sold at the local food co-op
Those look great! I like matcha powder but never thought to add it to muffins. Excellent idea!
I really need to find matcha- it sounds so good, especially in muffins like these! And it’s a pretty color haha
these muffins look super good! plusss I am a huuuuge matcha fan
thanks for sharing these!
