Equipment

mixing bowls
12 cup muffin tin

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup melted coconut oil
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs whisked
1 tbsp coconut sugar
2 tbsp matcha powder
¾ cup plain greek yogurt
2 tsp pure vanilla extra
coconut or avocado oil cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray, place your muffin liners in, and set aside.
In a large bowl combine almond flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and matcha powder. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl combine oil and maple syrup. Whisk until well combined. Add eggs, and mix well. Then, add yogurt and vanilla. If your coconut oil starts to harden, place in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Next, pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix to combine.
Using 2 spoons scoop out mixture with one and slide it off the spoon using the other spoon into the muffin cup. Sprinkle each top of muffin with coconut sugar to help them crisp up during baking.
Depending on how you choose to bake these muffins, follow either step below. Either matcha muffins in the air fryer or in the oven!
Using an Air Fryer - Place muffins at the bottom of your air fryer. Air fry at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and air fry for another 10 minutes.
If making your muffins in the air fryer I have found that using silicone cups is easier because they stand up on their own better.
Using the Oven - Follow the same step-by-step instructions above then using your 12-cup muffin tin, grease it up, and add your muffin cups. Then, cook your muffins in the oven set at 400° and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
I would recommend investing in a non-stick muffin tin to make for easier cleanup.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
When combining the wet and dry ingredients be sure not to over-mix the batter. Stir until just combined. If you over mix your muffins might not be as tender.
What can my kids do? Have them measure out all ingredients and whisk everything together!
