Ingredients

• gluten free flour blend
• baking powder, baking soda and salt
• Matcha Green Tea powder
• chia seeds
• almond milk or non-dairy of choice

Boost of Antioxidants

Get your full day of anti-oxidants in one delicious breakfast bite! The green tea leaves have been grown in shade during the last couple of weeks before harvest making the color bright green with increased antioxidants. Matcha is then finely stone ground into a powder making it the perfect addition to recipes like our Baked Matcha Lemon Glazed Donuts or Chocolate Matcha Chia Seed Pudding.

Benefits of Matcha

• Get your kick of caffeine
• Boost your metabolism
• Protect your heart from disease
• Keep cancer away
• Enjoy the calm relaxation matcha moment.

Step By Step

• Make your vegan eggs by mixing the chia seed with water.
• Mix the dry ingredients together (Gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and matcha powder)
• Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients (Chia seed and water solution, non-dairy)
• Heat up the griddle with a non-dairy butter, coconut oil or oil of choice over medium heat and place a ladle of batter on the griddle or pan.
• After the bubbles have slowed down from forming on the pancake flip to the other side. Repeat process.

Green Tea Pancakes

If you make your special someone a delicious breakfast in bed with Healthy Matcha Pancakes, be prepared for the love coming back at you. Just look at how sexy these green tea 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.

Did you know that pancakes are not just for breakfast? If you have not tried our gluten-free Thai Shrimp Pancakes or Tofu Veggie Pancakes, you have not idea what you have been missing out on.

Favorite 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.

How to Store

Of course, matcha pancakes are delicious hot off the griddle. However you can also make them and refrigerate them in a covered container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

If we freeze them, we like to put a piece of waxed or parchment paper between the pancakes so they do not stick. Then, we place them in a freezer safe bag in the freezer. You can microwave them for just 20 to 30 seconds at a time to warm and they are ready to eat.

More Matcha Recipes

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 Chocolate Matcha Chia Seed Pudding.

If you have not guessed this by now, we are huge matcha lovers. Looking for more delicious ways to incorporate anti-oxidants in your life? You may like to try our other matcha recipes...
