My Matcha Green Tea Powder arrived the other day and I was very excited to use it in my baking, I thought about making a cake, but I’ve done a lot of cakes recently, so reverted back to cookies and these are super tasty, I was really surprised at the taste, it’s really hard to explain, but let’s just say, yummy! I’m definitely going to bake a cake next time to see how it comes out!!

Last day of the football season today, so going to have to find some other way to while away the hours on a weekend!

Might need to go look on the internet to see if I can get my hands on some cocoa butter as I fancy making a white chocolate dessert, but can’t get cocoa butter here! I also want Goji berries and some Maca powder amongst many other things!

Matcha & Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan & Gluten Free)

MyInspiration Feel The Difference Range

Makes 6 cookies – Ready in 30 minutes

 

2 tbsp peanut butter

2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp Matcha Green Tea Powder

1/2 cup Buckwheat flour

1/3 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup oats

2 tbsp non dairy milk (I used almond)

6 walnut halves roughly chopped

2 tbsp vegan dark chocolate chips

 

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius and line a baking tray with parchment

2. In a mixing bowl mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth, stir through the matcha green tea powder, now add the buckwheat, baking powder, oats, walnuts, chocolate chips and almond milk and mix everything together until a stiff dough comes together

3. Using your hands separate the mixture into 6 balls, flatten them in the palm of your hand and place on the baking tray, pop in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until almost firm, remove from heat. You can eat them just as they are or like me, you can melt your favourite dark chocolate and drizzle over the top!
