# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups and lightly spray with coconut oil or cooking spray.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and matcha collagen or matcha powder. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, blend Truvia Baking Blend, softened coconut oil, mashed bananas, dairy-free Greek yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Add dry mixture to the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
05 - Fold white chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
06 - Evenly scoop the batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
07 - Bake muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes to promote domed tops.
08 - Lower oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
09 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan placed on a wire rack before serving or storing.

# Notes:

01 - For a fully vegan version, use only matcha powder in place of matcha collagen.
02 - Filling muffin liners three-quarters full yields evenly sized muffins and ensures proper rise.
03 - Paper or silicone muffin liners help reduce sticking and ease cleanup.
04 - Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerated for 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
