Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or brushing it lightly with oil.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Sift the matcha powder into the dry ingredients to ensure even distribution, then stir to combine.
Add the soy milk and neutral oil to the mixture. Use a spatula to gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly incorporated without breaking them.
Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet crunch, then place the tin in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter for light and fluffy muffins. Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
