Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour can substitute with gluten-free flour
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar can substitute with honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 large egg can substitute with a flax egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Cooling rack (optional)

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to ensure that all the dry ingredients are well blended.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or whisk, gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If not non-stick, lightly grease with oil or butter.
  5. Step 5: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Step 6: Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack or warm oven to keep them warm while finishing the remaining batter.
  7. Step 7: Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or yogurt.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking. This helps the baking powder activate.
