Vegan Matcha Pancakes

These Vegan Matcha Pancakes are a delightful twist on traditional Japanese brunch, featuring the earthy flavor of matcha green tea. Fluffy and vibrant, they offer a nourishing start to your day with a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 120 grams
• matcha powder - 2 tablespoons
• baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• plant-based milk (almond or oat) - 180 milliliters
• maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the plant-based milk, maple syrup, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Serve warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan whipped cream.
