Why Matcha is the Perfect Ingredient for Baked Goods

Matcha is no longer just for lattes. With its smooth texture, rich umami flavor, and striking green hue, matcha is becoming a favorite ingredient in all types of baking. Here’s why it works so well in baked goods like cookies:

1. Eye-Catching Color: The vibrant green color of matcha is not only visually appealing but also sets your baked goods apart from standard offerings. Whether you’re serving up matcha cookies, cakes, or muffins, that signature green hue instantly grabs attention and adds a sense of uniqueness to your menu.

2. Unique Flavor Profile: Matcha offers a delicate balance of earthy bitterness and natural sweetness, which pairs beautifully with ingredients like white chocolate, nuts, and citrus. The subtle complexity of matcha makes it an excellent choice for baked goods that are more than just sweet—they’re layered with flavor.

3. Health Benefits: Many customers today are looking for healthier options, and matcha is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. By offering matcha-infused treats, you’re not only appealing to health-conscious customers but also providing a product with more than just a great taste—it's a superfood.

Matcha Cookies: The New Café Favorite

One of the most popular baked goods in the matcha world is the matcha cookie. Whether it’s a soft, chewy cookie or a crisp shortbread, matcha adds a depth of flavor that complements both sweet and savory additions. Imagine a buttery matcha cookie studded with white chocolate chunks, or a matcha shortbread with a hint of lemon zest—both are show-stoppers that will keep your customers coming back for more.

At Matcha Society, our Premium Culinary Uji Matcha (Baked) is specifically designed for baking. It holds up beautifully under heat, maintaining both its bold flavour and vibrant colour, making it ideal for cookies, cakes, and other treats that require a matcha touch.

How to Use Matcha in Your Café’s Baked Goods

If you’re new to baking with matcha, here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Choose the Right Matcha: Not all matcha is created equal. Ceremonial grade matcha is excellent for drinking but can be too delicate for baking. Our Culinary Matcha from Uji is crafted specifically for use in baked goods, ensuring that the matcha flavor shines through, even after baking.

2. Balance Your Flavors: Matcha pairs beautifully with ingredients that complement its earthy notes. White chocolate, almonds, coconut, and citrus are excellent choices to balance the slight bitterness of matcha in your cookies or cakes. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your flavor combinations!

3. Measure Carefully: When using matcha in baking, a little goes a long way. Start with small amounts (about 1-2 teaspoons) and adjust according to taste. Adding too much matcha can overpower the other flavors, so aim for balance in each batch.

4. Maintain Freshness: To preserve matcha’s freshness, always store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. The vibrant green color will fade if exposed to light and air for too long, so keeping it properly stored ensures your baked goods will always have that signature pop of color.
