Happy Monday everyone!  Oops, did I just make you groan?  I'm sorry.  Ever since the seasons started changing I'm just too darn chipper for my own good.  I'll try to take it down a notch, lol!

But cheer up, because today I am bringing you a tasty treat you can feel really good about indulging in.

These little mini bundts are just bursting with super food ingredients.  You are going to get your daily dose of alllll the best things when you make these, like almonds, coconut oil, Greek yogurt, and matcha green tea.  They are just loaded with healthy omega-3's and antioxidants.

I also used einkorn flour in this recipe, which is not necessarily gluten-free, but a lot of people with gluten sensitivities do really well with this type of wheat.  Because it is an ancient grain, it has not been genetically modified and therefore is much easier to digest.  I found it didn't noticeably affect the flavor or texture of my cakes at all.  So if you'd prefer to substitute with all-purpose flour, I think you could easily swap it out in equal measure.

Probably 90% of the recipes I share here on Baking a Moment start with "mist a pan with non-stick spray," and this one is no different.  Lately I have been using PAM Baking, and I really love the results.

With all those tight little nooks and crannies in my mini-bundt pan, I wouldn't dare skip that added peace of mind I get from PAM Baking.  My time and ingredients are way too valuable to risk those little beauties sticking to the pan or coming apart!

I think you'll really love how delicate and floral these pretty little tea cakes are.  They make a great afternoon pick-me-up, or even a special breakfast!  I dusted half mine with powdered sugar, and drizzled a matcha Greek yogurt glaze on the other half.  I loved the way the earthy matcha complemented the sweet almond flavor!

Instructions
 

Make the Mini Bundt Cakes:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a mini bundt pan with PAM.
  • Place the flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.  
  • Add the coconut oil, and mix on low speed, until the mixture resembles damp sand. 
  • Add the honey and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and extracts.  
  • Turn the mixer up to medium speed and beat for about 30 seconds, to aerate the batter and develop the cake's structure.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until a bamboo skewer inserted in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean or with one or two moist crumbs.  
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan, cool completely, and glaze, or dust with powdered sugar.

Make the Matcha Green Tea Glaze:

  • Place the powdered sugar and matcha in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the Greek yogurt, and drizzle the glaze over the cooled cakes.  
  • Garnish with nonpareil sprinkles (optional).

  1. Hi,

    We love this recipe and wanted to know if you are working with any Matcha Brand because we would love to work with you own your next recipe that uses green tea matcha, please let us know if you are interested in our organic culinary matcha.

    Regards,
    Robert Cruso

    1. Hi Robert! Thanks so much for reaching out. Right now I do not have a matcha sponsor so I would love to speak with you more about this. Please feel free to email me at bakingamoment(at)gmail(dot)com. Thanks again and I'll look forward to hearing from you soon!

  2. Hello Allie, I love this post of yours on Matcha Almond Tea Cakes. Im a big fan of matcha! Your pictures are as delicious as your recipe too. I’ve featured your post on my blog with a link to your site.
    “Its 9 sinfully delicious desserts for coconut lovers” I hope thats alright with you. 🙂 Thanks! Have a great day!

    1. Thank you so much Chris! That means so much coming from you. I always drool over your pics- you're so incredibly talented!

  3. True that, cooking spray is key for bundt pans and especially mini ones. This is the perfect recipe for PAM and the matcha powder! That glaze is so so pretty. Pinning! And happy Easter Allie!

    1. Thank you so much Mary Frances! I hope your Easter weekend was really fun and special <3

    1. I will take that as a compliment! I'd love to do just that... someday! Thanks so much June 🙂

  4. These mini bundts look so good. I love the flavor and color, that matcha adds to food. We don't have einkorn flour, actually never heard about it before. I will go with organic all-purpose flour. Pinned!

    1. I'm actually new to Einkorn myself. I was gifted a bag at a recent event, but I have noticed they're selling it in the gluten-free section of my supermarket. I think organic all-purpose is a great substitute though. Thanks so much Azu, hope you enjoy!

  5. These mini bundt cakes are so cute and I love that tea is involved. Pam baking sprays are all that I use. They work great and make for easy clean up.

    1. Definitely! Thanks so much for stopping by Chineka! Hope you enjoy your weekend sweetie 🙂

  6. I just bought some of the Pam Baking and used it for the first time! I must say, it works like magic! Lovely little tea cakes, Allie. And I really love the use of coconut oil in these!

  7. Oh Allie these cakes are wonderful!! Not only do I love tea cakes but I also spy some coconut oil in there. Love!!

    1. Coconut oil and matcha! Two of your favorite ingredients, right? Thank you so much Zainab! xoxo

  8. Allie, these tea cakes look so good. I'm also in love with the color of that matcha glaze. I always use PAM whenever I'm baking. The spray nozzle on those bottles is awesome!

    1. Totally! I can't imagine baking without it! I'm so happy you liked Lisa! Thank you so much for the sweet comment 🙂

    1. Thank you so much Lucy! For sharing, and for the kind words too! Hope you're having a great week 🙂

    to bite into one of these. I am quite curious about the flavors. Good job at piquing my interest.

    1. Thanks Carol! I really loved that sweet and almost fruity almond flavor with the earthy matcha. It was really interesting!
