  • 1 tablespoon ceremonial grade matcha
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line 9 to 12 cups of a muffin tin with papers.

  2. Whisk the flour, ½ cup of sugar, matcha, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

  5. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the pistachios on top, followed by 2 teaspoons of sugar.
