Matcha Baking

[NThomas]

Green tea is wonderful in baked goods. Does anyone have a recipe to share that includes matcha powder or green tea?

Hi,
I made these matcha blondies for St. Patrick's day.

I increased the matcha to 1/3 cup and skipped the almonds.
I used some really good Valrhona white chocolate that someone had given to me.
They were really good blondies.
Now I want some. I want some right now...

So excited to see the title of this one as I've wanted to give this a try for a long time....I'm excited about the idea of green tea and lavender flavours together for baking =).

And those blondies sound great, too!

I actually NEVER thought of baking with green tea. I do know that green tea is great for lots of things and winter is coming upon us and that means sickness most of the time. Green tea helps my throat so I keep it on hand all the time. I will now look for some recipes that use green tea.

I've never heard of people using matcha in baked goods! I'd love to try to make some; if only I can find some matcha in my local grocery store!

I do have a recipe for almond matcha cookies here!

I feel that the combination between matcha and almonds is really nice and the taste of the matcha will be more tamed in a sense and not too overbearing, especially for those whom are trying it out for the first time, or prefer a mild flavour!

The best part about matcha is that despite being baked, the flavour profile still remains!

Yes I agree with you, but I don't gave any recipe.

I have been meaning to make this for months. Japanese cotton cheesecake, matcha zebra striped. Recipe in the notes below the YouTube video. You'll need a digital scale as it's mostly in grams.
