Fluffly Matcha Pancakes with White Chocolate Cream

These fluffy, tasty, energy-boosting matcha pancakes are the perfect snack or breakfast item for a busy day or relaxing brunch.

Key ingredients to making a delicious matcha pancake

Matcha Tea Powder: We used sora matcha, a culinary-grade matcha tea powder. It is essential to pick a quality matcha tea that will help yield tasty and green-colored pancakes. Matcha contains caffeine. As a tea drinker, eating these pancakes was an excellent substitute for drinking tea. These fluffy matcha pancakes gave me the energy and mental focus I needed. It makes so much sense since I am eating the matcha differently. I suggest this matcha pancake as the perfect breakfast or snack for study time or exam seasons. 

Sugar: Adds sweetness and softness 

Milk: We used 3.25% cow milk. You may substitute it with another type of milk. 

Flour: We used all-purpose flour. If using a different flour, the proportions may need to be adjusted. 

Oil and Butter: Oil adds softness, and butter improves the taste of the matcha pancakes. 

Egg: The egg binds all the ingredients together.

Tips to succeed in making these fluffy matcha pancakes 

• Use quality culinary-grade matcha powder for tasty green pancakes 

• Turn the pancakes as soon as bubbles form to increase fluffiness. 

• Avoid overcooking the pancakes so they remain soft. 

What type of matcha powder should you use to make matcha pancakes? 

We used sora matcha, however, double-check with the manufacturer which matcha is ideal for cooking and baking. 

Benefits of eating matcha powder

• Energy: It is a concentrated green tea and contains caffeine. However, it is more gentle on the mind and body than coffee. 

• Improves mental focus

• Contains antioxidants

• Includes molecules that may help prevent cancer (catechins).
