Coconut Matcha Mochi
I made mochi for the first time! It’s been on my recipe wish list for a long time. I’ve been nervous to tackle it because I thought it would be a big process. Turns out, it’s super easy. Mochi is a sweet Japanese rice cake made of chewy glutinous rice. The key ingredient for this…
Easy Vegan Matcha Ice Cream
I developed this recipe for a tea company awhile back using just matcha green tea powder, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk. I recently pulled the recipe out of the archives to see if I could whip up a dairy-free, vegan version with some coconut milk products I had in the pantry. Good news! It…
Matcha Blackberry Muffin Cakes
The ease of a muffin and the beauty of a cake? I’m in! Plus, these handheld treats are perfect for pandemic times; everyone gets their own, with no sharing of utensils and serving dishes necessary. You essentially mix and bake these mini cakes like muffins, then turn them over and glaze them upside down to…
Gluten-Free Matcha Pop Tarts
Is there anything better than a homemade pop tart? Especially a gluten-free one that tastes like the real deal. Your G-F buds’ eyes will pop out of their heads when you serve these. The G-F naysayers won’t even be able to tell they are gluten-free. A healthy dose of bright green matcha tea powder in…
Whole Wheat Matcha Almond Waffles
I recently borrowed a friend’s waffle maker, which was a huge mistake because now I want one! Needless to say, I’ve been on a waffle kick. One night we even tried masa harina corn waffles as the base for our taco-like dinner, instead of tortillas. But nothing beats a classic breakfast waffle. Except maybe this…

Strawberry Matcha Smoothie
Strawberries and spinach have taken over my fridge this week. I’ve been working on a recipe for strawberry BBQ steak skewers with lemon poppy seed and spinach quinoa. Let me tell you, four pounds of strawberries and two pounds of spinach stretches very far. Even after lots of recipe testing, I have tons of leftover…
Matcha Breadcrumb Baked Chicken
My favorite way to use up leftover stale bread (like the rest of the loaf from my Earl Grey Tea Toast) is to turn it into seasoned breadcrumbs. Using the breadcrumbs as a coating for a baked chicken breast or pork chop makes for a quick and tasty weeknight meal. For this recipe, I marinated…
Matcha Macaroon Trees
Thank you, Martha Stewart, for the inspiration for these deliciously easy holiday cookies. I’ve actually never been a huge Martha Stewart fan. I’ve always thought of her recipes like her craft projects—major endeavors that need a weekend-long commitment and then never turn out quite like the picture. But I’m changing my tune after browsing the…
