Directions

Step 1

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, salt and sugar (if using).

Step 2

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Combine

  • Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • Gently stir until just combined—don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay (overmixing makes pancakes tough).

Step 4

Cook the Pancakes

  • Preheat a pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Scoop batter (about ¼ cup per pancake) onto the pan.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface.
  • Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5

Serve & Enjoy

  • Stack your pancakes and top with fruit, syrup, yogurt, or whipped cream.
  • For a festive twist, make different-sized pancakes and stack them into a Christmas tree shape!

Pro Tips for the Best Matcha Pancakes

  • Use high-quality matcha for a vibrant green colour and rich flavour.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the pancakes fluffy.
  • Cook on medium heat so they don’t burn before fully cooking inside.
  • Experiment with toppings—try coconut flakes, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of condensed milk for a twist!

FAQs

1. What does matcha add to pancakes?

Matcha gives the pancakes a light, earthy flavour with subtle sweetness, plus a beautiful green colour. It also contains antioxidants and a mild caffeine boost!

2. Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes! Swap milk for almond, oat, or soy milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.

3. How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast.
