Matcha Latte & Matcha Cream Cookies
If you enjoy the Starbucks Matcha Tea Latte then you are going to love making this healthy version at home with my refined sugar-free plant based recipe. The Matcha Tea Latte from Starbucks is 50% sugar so even though you are making a wiser choice choosing green tea over coffee, you are drinking loads of sugar. This Matcha Latte recipe uses date syrup instead which is a healthy sweetener alternative. Now match this tasty latte with these lightly sweet matcha flavored cookies topped with a matcha cream frosting and you are in matcha heaven!
Ingredients
Cream Frosting
- ½ cup cashews
- ¼ cup deglet dates diced
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- ½ cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Matcha Cream Cookies
- 1 ½ cups organic rolled oats ground into flour
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- ¾ cups deglet dates diced
- ⅓ cup tahini
- ½ cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Matcha Latte
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder
- ½ cup hot water
- 1-2 teaspoons date syrup your preference of sweetness
- ½ cup soy milk or plant based milk of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Blend the Cream Frosting ingredients in a blender until smooth and then place in the fridge while you are making the cookies. This allows the frosting to get more firm.
- For the cookies, soak the dates and matcha powder in the hot water.
- Add the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder and soda and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and mix well.
- Add the soaked dates and matcha powder, tahini and vanilla extract to a small blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into the flour mixture and mix well.
- Roll mixture out flat between two pieces of parchment paper.
- Cut out cookie shapes with a cookie cutter and place cookies onto a parchment lined baking tray.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Let cookies cool completely before frosting.
- Once cookies are cooled, pipe on the frosting or spread it on with a butter knife.
- For the latte, add the matcha powder to a cup and pour the hot water over it.
- Stir it with a spoon to dissolve.
- Optional: If you would like a froth, whisk with your choice of frothing tool.
- Stir the date syrup into the soy milk and pour into the matcha mixture.

I saw your recipes on “y tube “ and would like to know more about your cooking class. I found a similar plant base cooking class 20 minutes away from my house
I would like to see your classes first before I join a class
because I live your recipes.
I am not offering any in person or online classes at this point, sorry.
I just watched this video on YouTube, but the brand of Matcha power is not the one I see here. There was also supposed to be a link to the tea glasses. Did I miss something?
