Amazing Recipes You Can Do With Matcha That Are Both Delicious And Healthy



Are you a Matcha Fan?

Matcha tea is rapidly growing in popularity all over the world for its numerous health benefits. Nowadays, green tea powder is known as the trendy flavour of the century. Originating from Japan, Matcha tea has been around for years but has only started gaining more popularity over recent years after people started using it in different recipes and discovering its endless benefits. 

It is made from green tea leaves that are pulverized into a fine green powder then easily used in different beverages and meals. Here are some of the greatest recipes that you can try using Matcha powder. 

Green Tea Cookies

Cookies are among the easiest desserts to make, and almost everybody loves them. When you add some Matcha tea powder to the mix, you will make your cookies even more delicious and healthy. All you would need to enjoy this buttery and crispy delicacy whenever you crave something sweet is 240 grams of flour, 170 grams of unsalted butter, 140 grams of sugar, two egg yolks, and of course, about 15 grams of green tea powder. You can add some white chocolate chips or a mix of different nuts or flavourings according to your personal preferences if you want. Combine all your ingredients together and mix them quite well until you get a doughy texture, then start forming your cookies into small or big balls depending on how big you would like the cookies to be. Usually, smaller sized cookies with a little bit of chunkiness in the middle offer maximum deliciousness in taste. Next, place your cookies in the oven at 175-degrees for about 15 minutes or until they melt properly into their perfect form. Once taken out, leave them for a few minutes to rest and enjoy your warm cookies in the afternoon with any warm beverage for an added element of coziness.  

Matcha Ice Cream

Once the weather starts getting a little warmer, everyone starts looking for ways to cool off the heat. There is nothing better than some delicious ice cream to enjoy during the summer days, especially when it is made of healthy ingredients like Matcha. You can make this ice-cream with regular dairy products or take the non-dairy route by using almond milk or any other dairy substitute alongside the Matcha to ensure you are getting the most benefits from your healthy dessert. For this recipe, you would need about 15-20 grams of Matcha powder, a couple of ripe bananas, two cups of sweetened milk, and a powerful food processor. Put all your ingredients together in the food processor and start mixing them for a few minutes until everything is blended nicely into a creamy texture that can be frozen. You can add more bananas or any other fruit of the season as you please, and you can replace any sugar with honey if you want only natural ingredients in your summery dessert. Freeze the mix for about four to five hours and enjoy as it melts in your mouth once served. 

Matcha Energy Bars

Staying energized all day can be quite tricky for some people, especially those who lead busy lives. If you spend a lot of your time between work and house chores or even academic work, you will need healthy nutrients to feed your cravings and keep you focused all day. Making Matcha energy bars can be just the thing you need in your life for such situations. They are super easy to make and are full of proteins and other healthy nutrients that will benefit your body. To make this delicious snack, you need one cup of cashews, three tablespoons of coconut oil, two tablespoons of honey, one cup of flour, half a cup of butter, and two tablespoons of Matcha powder. 



You can add more or less honey and nuts as you prefer, and you can always substitute the flour and butter with gluten-free and dairy-free products if you are vegan. Mix all the ingredients together, place them in a baking tray, and put them in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes. As soon as they come out, cut them into little rectangular pieces, and voila! 

The Japanese Matcha powder has grown in popularity over the years for its numerous health benefits when added to different recipes. Nowadays, chefs are coming up with new recipes that incorporate the magical green powder to add an extra delicious element into different desserts and beverages. Make sure you add your own touch of creativity to different recipes so that you can make them even more special and delicious.
