Matcha Cupcakes

MATCHA LEMON ICED CUPCAKES

GLUTEN FREE

For this recipe Christine used Matcha powder from Matcha Yu.  These cupcakes are best made in a silicon muffin tray or inside unbleached paper patties because the batter is quite sticky.

Ingredients:

½ cup Coconut flour

2 tsp Everyday Matcha powder

1 tsp lemon zest

4 eggs

½ cup raw honey

⅓ cup coconut oil

2 tbsp water

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp bicarb soda

½ tsp apple-cider vinegar

¼ tsp Himalayan pink salt

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Icing

100g unsalted butter, softened

3 tbsp granulated stevia

200g cream cheese, softened

2 tsp Everyday Matcha powder

Method

Preheat oven to 150ºC.

Combine all cupcake ingredients in bowl and whisk until very well combined.

Spoon into 12-hole silicon muffin tray (or into unbleached paper patties) and bake for 18 mins, until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.

Meanwhile, to make icing, ass cream butter and stevia in stand mixer, then add cream cheese and matcha powder and beat until well combined. Chill for 10–15 mins if too soft, or wait until cupcakes are completely cold then ice and serve.
