Preheat the oven to 340°F / 170°C. Line a 12 muffin-cupcake tray with paper liners. Set aside.
Sift whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, soda, sugar, salt, and matcha powder into a medium bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
Add the flour mixture to the yogurt mixture and gently fold until the batter is smooth. Avoid over mixing.
Divide the batter among 12 muffin liners. Bake for 15-18 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for five minutes before removing. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store muffins in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to three days.
- To make this recipe vegan friendly simply substitute the egg with ¼ cup apple sauce and add an additional ½ tsp of baking powder to the original recipe (total of 1½ tsp baking powder)
- To make this recipe Gluten Free substitute the whole wheat flour with gluten free flour and Gluten free baking powder
- Coconut sugar can be used as a substitute for white sugar however it will produce a darker crumb but will still have the same great taste!
- Make sure not to over mix the batter as this will remove the air and produce a dense muffin.
- Lemon icing: Mix 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar and 2 tsp lemon juice together in a small mixing bowl to form a smooth paste that can be easily drizzled. Drizzle icing on top of each muffin.
