Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour 218g
  • 4 tablespoons Jade Leaf Ingredient Grade Matcha, sifted 12g
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar 133g
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder 8g
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 3g
  • ¼ teaspoon salt 1.5g
  • 1 cup ripe banana, mashed about 2-3 medium bananas (240g)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted 75g
  • 3 tablespoons milk 45ml
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips 255g
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped 120g

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven and line pan:

    Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan with parchment; reserve.

  2. Whisk dry ingredients:

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) flour, sifted matcha, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Mix wet and dry ingredients:

    Add mashed banana, melted butter, and milk to the dry mix. Beat on low until combined, then on high for 2 minutes. Add eggs and remaining ¾ cup (93g) flour; beat until smooth. Fold in white chocolate chips and walnuts using a rubber spatula until evenly dispersed.

  4. Bake and cool loaf:

    Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Bake 55–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then unmold.
