Green tea and matcha (the powdered form of green tea/whole leaf) is one of my favourite ingredients. It’s packed with compounds and antioxidants that are all linked with things such as lower inflammation, steady energy, better heart & brain health and longevity. I love to sneak it in wherever I can, so I added some matcha to these Christmas shortbreads which is also a great way to add a natural green colour.
For guidance on choosing good green tea and matcha see my post here.
If you want to learn even more about the benefits of green tea I’d recommend looking up the work by Dr William Li, he lays out the information in such a way that it’s easy to consume and understand.

This super healthy, high fiber matcha banana bread with dark chocolate chunks takes a normal banana bread to the next level with a health boost!
Matcha is green tea powder which some people may not be a fan of normally but it’s so good for you so sneaking it in where you can is highly beneficial. For an overview of matcha/green tea benefits see my old post here.
I have also added some plant protein to my version to balance out the macros but you can also stick to wholemeal flour if you prefer. I absolutely loved making this recipe multiple times over the past few weeks as when I do, I have breakfast sorted for a 3 days and it’s lovely slathered in peanut butter!
