Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a 6-hole muffin tray.

Step 2

Mix all muffin ingredients together, starting with dry ingredients and adding the wet. Transfer to the muffin tray (makes 6) and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

Step 3

Blend all matcha cashew cream ingredients together until smooth. Set aside in the fridge.

Step 4

Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag or ziplock bag (and chop corner off). Line up the skewers and pipe chocolate in a zig zag motion over each, increasing in size as you move down to form a tree. Sprinkle over desiccated coconut and set in freezer for 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

Frost the muffins and garnish with the chocolate tree. Optionally sprinkle over extra coconut or matcha. Enjoy! Store in the fridge for 4-5 days.
