We don’t know about you but we have spring fever. We are way done with this whole thing called winter with arctic temperatures, snow and freezing rain. Time to think positive warm thoughts. There is nothing more warm and heartfelt on Valentine’s Day then a plate piled high with Healthy Vegan Matcha Pancakes.
If you make your special someone a delicious breakfast in bed with Healthy Vegan Matcha Pancakes, be prepared for the love coming back at you. Just look at how sexy these pancakes are!!! Ok, so pancakes are not sexy but you certainly will be with a smile on your face and a stack of pancakes on your plate.
The toppings for Healthy Vegan Matcha Pancakes are endless. Matcha is delicious with berries, chocolate and creamy toppings. We also love Healthy Vegan Matcha 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 chia puddings. 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…
