Pancakes with Matcha: The green miracle for your morning

Do you love pancakes? And matcha too? Why not combine the two?! Matcha pancakes are not only delicious, but also offer a delicious change from your usual breakfast. This post will tell you how to prepare this delicious breakfast and what makes the green powder so special.

Why Matcha?

Before we get to the recipe, here's a brief excursion into the world of matcha . This fine green powder originates in Japan and is made from specially shaded tea leaves. Matcha is known not only for its unique color and flavor, but also for its health benefits . It contains antioxidants, increases concentration, and gives you an energy boost without leaving you feeling sluggish later on. Perfect for starting the day!

Green Pancake Matcha Recipe

Ingredients:

200 g flour
2 tsp matcha powder
2 tsp baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
A pinch of salt
2 eggs
250 ml milk
2 tbsp melted butter

Directions:

Preparation: Gather and measure all ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the liquid ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and melted butter. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well until you have a smooth batter.
Frying: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. When the greased pan is hot, add a ladleful of batter and form a round pancake. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serving: Stack the pancakes on a plate and garnish as desired. Whether with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream—the only limits are your imagination! Enjoy!

Tips and tricks

If you want your pancakes to be even fluffier, you can beat the egg whites separately and fold them in at the end.
Matcha quality varies. Invest in a good matcha powder—like Matcha Baby—to get the best flavor. Good matcha powder will have a bright, vibrant green color.

Matcha pancakes are more than just a trend. They're a delicious way to add a special touch to your breakfast while reaping the health benefits of green tea powder. Try this recipe with a cup of matcha tea for an energizing start to your day! And while you're experimenting, how about a matcha latte or matcha ice cream for dessert?
