A Little Matcha Moment: 3 Favorite Treats from My Kitchen

I don’t remember exactly when matcha became a little ritual in my day. Maybe it started with those rainy mornings when coffee felt too harsh, and I needed something gentler — something warm, green, and quiet. Matcha has this subtle magic to it: it energizes without rushing you, and it tastes like nature took a deep breath.

Lately, I’ve been playing with it more in the kitchen — not just as a drink, but as an ingredient in little snacks and desserts. It’s amazing how versatile it is. Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet, something nourishing, or something to prep ahead for busy days, matcha fits in so easily.

Here are three of my favorite ways to use it — recipes I come back to again and again. All simple, cozy, and a little green in the best way.

🍪 1. Matcha White Chocolate Cookies

Let’s start with cookies — always. These Matcha White Chocolate Cookies are slightly crisp at the edges, soft and chewy inside, and the combination of earthy matcha with creamy white chocolate is just so good. It’s the kind of cookie you don’t expect to love as much as you do… until you’ve eaten three.

I usually make them on a quiet Sunday, let the smell fill the kitchen, and then sneak one warm off the tray before they’ve even cooled properly.
Here’s the full recipe if you want to try them yourself:

⚡ 2. Matcha Energy Balls

These are my go-to snack for afternoons when I need something quick but want to avoid the usual sugar crash. They’re made with oats, nut butter, a touch of maple syrup, and of course, matcha powder. I call them Matcha Energy Balls, but honestly, they’re like tiny bites of calm focus.

They’re no-bake (yay), and you can make a batch in 10 minutes, keep them in the fridge, and grab one whenever you need a boost. Perfect with a cup of tea or as a post-yoga treat.

Here’s how I make them:

🥄 3. Creamy Matcha Chia Pudding

I love this one for breakfast. Or dessert. Or any time I want something soothing but a little elevated. This Matcha Chia Pudding is so easy to prepare — just stir it all together the night before, and you’ll wake up to a thick, creamy, matcha-kissed treat that feels like it came from a spa café.

I usually top mine with a drizzle of honey, a few berries, or toasted coconut. It’s lovely eaten slowly, with a spoon, while the world is still waking up.

A Note from Me 🍵

I think we all need small rituals — quiet comforts we can return to. Matcha has become one of mine. Not in a big, ceremonial way, but in a soft, daily way: a scoop here, a swirl there, something green on the counter that makes me pause and smile.

If you’re matcha-curious, or already deep into your love affair with it, I hope one of these recipes brings a little joy into your day.

Let me know if you try any of them — I’d love to hear what you think or how you make them your own.
