Recipe Guide
- → Can I use regular-sized muffin tins?
Yes, but adjust the baking time and fill each tin about two-thirds full. Larger muffins may need a few more minutes in the oven.
- → Is matcha powder necessary?
Matcha provides distinctive flavor and color, but you can omit it if desired. Replace with extra cinnamon or a little cocoa powder for variation.
- → How do I make these bites gluten-free?
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour. Confirm other ingredient labels for gluten-free status.
- → Can I make them vegan?
Substitute flax eggs for regular eggs, use plant-based milk, and choose dairy-free chocolate chips. The bites remain just as tasty.
- → What flavors pair well for serving?
Serve with green tea, pumpkin spice lattes, coffee, or vanilla ice cream for dessert. The flavors complement well.
