Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.

In a large bowl, combine the flours with the sugar, matcha powder (if using), baking powder, cinnamon, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Set aside.

Put the yogurt, oil and bananas in a blender and purée until smooth. Add the kale, in batches, and continue to purée until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and pulse until just combined. Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture, and stir until combined.
