Matcha Tahini Swirl Banana Muffins are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of ripe bananas, matcha, and tahini for a unique twist on traditional muffins.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or a light coating of oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, matcha powder, and milk until creamy.
  6. Pour half of the banana batter into the muffin tin, then add spoonfuls of the matcha tahini mixture on top.
  7. Layer the remaining banana batter over this and use a knife or toothpick to create a marbled design.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of sweetness, consider folding in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips into the batter.
  • To make these muffins gluten-free, swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend.
