Ingredients

Scale

1 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 Egg
2 tablespoons Butter or Oil (melted)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Optional toppings: Maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar.

Instructions

Mixing Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Preparing Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay!

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown.

Serving Suggestions

Stack pancakes high and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy with a refreshing glass of juice or a warm cup of tea!

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water).
Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and color.
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for longer storage.
