Sweet muffins infused with matcha and bursting with blueberries.

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1¼ cups (160 grams) all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons Aiya Culinary Grade Matcha
03 - 1½ tablespoons dry milk powder
04 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
05 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 4 tablespoons (57 grams) butter, room temperature
07 - ½ cup (100 grams) sugar + 5 teaspoons for sprinkling on top
08 - 1 large egg, room temperature
09 - ¼ cup (85 grams) water, room temperature
10 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Fruits

11 - 1¼ cups fresh blueberries, room temperature

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and grease a muffin tin. Leave at least one open space between each muffin to prevent sticking.
02 - In a stand mixer, combine the butter and ½ cup sugar. Mix on high speed until the mixture is light and creamy.
03 - Add the egg to the creamed mixture and mix on medium speed until evenly combined.
04 - Add flour, matcha, dry milk powder, baking powder, salt, water, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix on medium speed until evenly combined.
05 - Crush half of the blueberries and mix them into the batter until evenly distributed. Add the remaining whole blueberries and fold gently using a silicone spatula.
06 - Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
07 - Let the batter rest in the muffin tin at room temperature for 45 minutes.
08 - Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the top of each muffin until covered.
09 - Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 20 minutes, or until the muffin tops are lightly browned.

# Notes:

01 - Allow the batter to rest before baking to achieve a lighter texture and more even rise.
