Ingredients

• gluten-free all-purpose flour - 120g
• matcha powder - 2 tablespoons
• baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• milk (dairy or plant-based) - 150ml
• egg - 1 large
• honey or maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• melted coconut oil or butter - 2 tablespoons
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil or butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, cooking until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or your favorite toppings.
