Favorite Healthy Vegan Matcha Pancakes Toppings
The toppings for Pancakes are endless. Matcha is delicious with berries, chocolate and creamy toppings. We also love pancakes plain or with just a little drizzle of maple syrup. You decide! This is your special day to treat yourself or someone special.
We used Fraser Tea Vanilla Matcha Organic Green Tea for this recipe. However, they also have a raspberry, blueberry, mango and mango peach matcha that would be lovely as well. We love their matcha products in smoothies and Matcha Chocolate Chia Parfait. If you have matcha already in your pantry use whatever brand you prefer.
If you have not guessed this by now, we are huge matcha lovers. If you are looking for more delicious ways to incorporate anti-oxidants in your life be sure to check out our other recipes…

Healthy Vegan Matcha Pancakes
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten free flour blend
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp Vanilla Matcha Organic Green Tea
by Fraser Tea - **Xanthum gum is not required but if your gluten free flour blend has it, it is okay.
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp flax seeds
ground - 3 tbsp water
- 10 oz almond milk
(or dairy of choice)
Topping suggestions…
- Whipped coconut cream optional
- Berries optional
- Maple syrup optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl add the ground flax seeds and water and allow to sit for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Add all your dry ingredients (gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt and matcha) to a bowl and mix. Add your prepared ground flax seed and water mixture to the dry ingredients and then add your almond milk to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork to get rid of any lumps. Set aside.
- In a skillet or griddle, add a little spray oil or little coconut oil and heat to “medium low” heat. Use a ladle to pour the pancake mix onto the griddle. Cook on side 1 for about 2-3 minutes or until the bubbles stop forming and turn over and cook for another 1 minute on the other side until golden. Remove from the pan and repeat with the rest of the vegan matcha pancake batter.
- Makes about 8-9 medium sized pancakes
- Top with your favorites like lightly sweetened whipped coconut cream and berries.
Hmm ! A breakfast dish for a totally non-morning person ! BUT . . . your pancakes do read 'very interesting' and there is such an occasion as brunch, is there not ? Berries and maple syrup definitely will not be optional . . . have drunk nightly green tea foe decades . . . love the current world-wide interest in matcha . . .
Bring on the brunch menu. After living in Japan, you just crave really good matcha. We love that feel good euphoric feeling matcha gives you, so relaxing. A big stack of these matcha pancakes and a leisurely Sunday morning brunch sounds like the perfect weekend. Wish you lived closer!
This whole stack is great. My sone could eat the whole thing. Never heard of using tea like this. So creative.
Thanks so much Barb. We completely understand. Boys can really pack it away. If you like matcha, you will love these matcha pancakes. Stay well and take care
These pancakes look so mouth watering. I followed the picture to the recipe :). The combination with berries and maple syrup is awesome. I saw another coconut flavored recipe on your site that sounds interesting - the chai latte.
Thanks so much Roxana! Our Easy Coconut Iced Chai Latte (https://www.hwcmagazine.com/recipe/easy-coconut-iced-chai-tea-latte/) is really delicious with coconut milk. We hope you give it a try soon. Wishing you a super week ahead. Take Care
What an absolutely mouthwatering stack of pancakes! I make pancakes every other weekend so will be the pancake special next weekend. Thanks for the matcha love!!
Thank you MJ! It is the hanami (Cherry blossom viewing) season and time for everything Matcha! The Sakura season in Japan has come early this year as the weather is a little bit warmer. Enjoy and take care.
I've never seen matcha pancakes...what a great idea! These look so wonderfully fluffy. Is it "bad" that I want to slather them with some red beans. Yum!
This would be a fantastic way to start the day!
Thank you Emma. The breakfast of champions.
