  • Rice flour muffins
  • Gluten-free and dairy-free recipe
  • Matcha treats
  • Baking time is 20 minutes

📋 Ingredients

Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

Ingredients for rice flour matcha muffins.
  • White rice flour: I use plain white rice flour, but you can substitute it with brown rice flour.
  • Eggs: I use large size eggs.
  • Sugar: I use beet sugar in this recipe. You can use any sugar of your choice.
  • Oil: I use Taihaku sesame oil squeezed raw with no fragrant aroma like regular sesame oil (pressed after roasting). You can use any oil that does not have a strong smell or flavor.
  • Soy milk: Please pick soy milk made from non-GMO soybeans, and the one with no flavor or sugar is added. You can substitute it with your favorite milk, such as almond or oats.
  • Matcha powder: I use matcha powder made from green tea only. Please note that some matcha powder contains sugar.
  • Baking powder: I use aluminum-free baking powder.

If you want more information about the ingredients, I will explain more in this recipe: Vegan Blueberry Muffins.

🔪Instructions

Let's go over how to make these muffins! The instructions are the same as Vegan Matcha Muffins, so please check the link if you like to watch the steps.

First of all, preheat the oven to 180C/356F.

  1. Put eggs, sugar, oil, and soy milk in a mixing bowl and mix well with a whisk until blended.
  2. Add rice flour, baking powder, and matcha powder to the bowl and mix well.
  3. Put the dough evenly in the muffin tin.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes at 180C/356F.

There you go! In less than 30 minutes, you can have fluffy rice flour muffins!

Please remove them from your oven and place them on a wire rack to cool.

You can mix in your favorite ingredients, from chocolate to jam! I added pieces of chocolate bar in the photo.

Storage

They will be good for two days at room temperature and three days in the fridge.

Wrap them with cling film and store them in the freezer; they will last for one month.

Variations and Mix in ideas

If you don't add matcha powder, they will be plain muffins. Try these variations to make your flavor!

  • Mash the banana and add it to the dough
  • Mix in your favorite jam
  • Mix in blueberries
  • Mix in chocolate chips
  • Mix in nuts

    Hi Juri,
    I just tried the recipe and the muffins turned out very dry... I measured everything by weight when mentioned. After I sifted the dry ingredients, I added them to the wet ingredients and rice flour clumps formed. I had to whisk everything thoroughly before pouring the batter into the muffin tin.
    How can I make sure it's not as dry?
    I baked them for 20 mins at 350. Maybe I should try at 325? The top was a bit browned. Thanks for your help.

      Hi Cecile, thanks for trying the recipe, and sorry to hear that it didn't turn out well...I'm not sure of the cause, but it may be due to the type of rice flour you're using - some varieties absorb more moisture than others. If so, you could try adding one or more tablespoons of milk to the batter. I hope it helps!
