Sugar free matcha topping for muffins
If that looks too toxic to you, you can simply omit the powder from the recipe. Instead of in the dough, the matcha powder then ends up in the topping. Our matcha muffins become cupcakes :)
Here's how:
Mix 1 package of cottage cheese with 2 tablespoons of yogurt and honey (to taste). Stir until you have a uniform mass. Then add 1 tsp of matcha powder. You can increase the matcha dose as you like. But make sure that the powder makes the mass slightly bitter.
