MATCHA CAKE

serves: 8-10 | prep: 12 minutes | bake: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

DRY:

  • 1 1/2 cups of Whole Wheat Cake flour

  • 1 tbsp Matcha powder

  • pinch of salt

  • 2 tsp baking soda

WET:

  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled

  • 2 cup maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon key lime juice

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, matcha, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

  3. Combine avocado, maple syrup and lime juice in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until fairly smooth.

  4. Add egg and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour mixture and almond milk. Fold in half of the pistachios.

  5. Spoon batter into the muffin pan, dividing the mixture evenly among the cups. Sprinkle the tops of muffins with the remaining pistachios.

  6. Bake until the tops are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
