Description
This quick Matcha Cheesecake Muffins recipe will satisfy your sweets craving without a ton of steps. It's sweet but has that wonderful depth of flavor from the matcha green tea powder.
Ingredients
For the cheesecake batter:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 5 oz. white chocolate, melted
- 1 egg, room temperature
For the muffins batter:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a six-muffin tin with cooking spray.
Make the cheesecake batter:
- Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth.
- Sift in the matcha powder and beat until fluffy.
- Add in the melted white chocolate and egg and beat until well-combined.
Make the muffins batter:
- Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Turn heat to low and add in chocolate chips, stir until just melted.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix until well-combined.
Prepare the muffin tin:
- Spread ¼ of the chocolate muffin mixture at the bottom of each cup, ¼ of the matcha mixture in the middle, and ¼ of the chocolate muffin mixture on the top.
- Place a large dollop of the matcha mixture on the very top and using a sharp knife make swirls with the matcha and muffin mixture to create a marbled pattern.
- Bake the muffins in the center rack for 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Use a thin flat knife to loosen the muffins before removing from the muffin tin. (Makes 6 large muffins.)
Notes
- You can melt the white chocolate in a glass mixing bowl in the microwave on 20-second intervals.
