Notes
Kefir: This recipe is sponsored by my favorite kefir brand, Lifeway. Their organic ceremonial matcha or plain whole milk kefir is best in this recipe.
Regular Muffins: Distribute the batter between 12-14 regular muffin liners and bake at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes.
Mini Muffins: Bake 24-28 mini muffins at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
Storage: Store cooled matcha muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
