Matcha Azuki Muffins

Part 2 of baking weekend - Matcha muffins! Bought a can of azuki beans waiting to be nom-ed more than a month ago. Finally open ceremony it today. Modified my chocolate muffins recipe to matcha one with some adjustments. Love the results. The green tea taste is significant as I got generous with the matcha powder. Everyone who tried it smelt the matcha. Mom said the green looks pretty though I think it looks mutant-ish heehee.

Packed them in a box with encouragement on top as it's meant for a zadankai anyway. She said everyone was excited (probably due to the box) and love the muffins. Yayness for me!
