How strong is the matcha flavor in these muffins?

With two tablespoons of matcha powder, these muffins have a noticeable, earthy matcha flavor that balances well with the bright lemon notes.

Why is it important not to over-mix the batter?

Over-mixing can develop the gluten in the flour too much, resulting in tough, dense muffins instead of light and fluffy ones.

Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?

While fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best vibrant flavor, you can use bottled lemon juice if fresh is unavailable, though the zest is crucial for aroma.

How should I store these Lemon Matcha Muffins?

Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

Can I use a different type of plant-based milk?

Yes, any neutral-flavored nut-based milk like almond or soy milk will work well in this recipe.
