Delightful and fluffy matcha powder pancakes infused with the vibrant flavor of green tea, perfect for a unique breakfast or brunch treat. These pancakes are lightly sweetened and can be enhanced with chocolate chips or blueberries, served with your favorite toppings like whipped cream or fresh fruits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (plus extra for pan)
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips or blueberries
  • Toppings: Whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh fruits, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully mixed, creating a smooth wet batter base.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, which helps keep the pancakes tender.
  4. If using, carefully fold in the chocolate chips or blueberries to add texture and flavor bursts within the pancakes.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter to prevent sticking and add richness.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, spreading slightly if needed. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  7. Transfer cooked matcha pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter to serve all pancakes hot.
  8. Serve the matcha pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a delightful presentation.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Adjust milk type based on dietary preferences such as almond or soy milk for dairy-free options.
  • Add-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries can be omitted or substituted according to taste.
  • Serve matcha powder pancakes immediately for best texture and flavor, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
