They come together with the simplest of ingredients and in less than 15 minutes, you’re ready to serve the most heart-warming breakfast ever. And guess what?

Fluffy Matcha Pancakes
Crispy edges with a light and fluffy center, these pancakes are what dreams are made of. Matcha helps to balance out the sweetness of the batter and syrup. Top with your favorite fruits and drizzle in some coconut cream, you’ll have yourself drooling over these delicious hot cakes!
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp matcha
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 1 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted + 1 tbsp for greasing pan
Directions
- Melt 3 tbsp butter in microwave for 15-20 seconds until it becomes liquid.
- Let it cool in room temperature for around 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, sift dry ingredients and mix evenly with a whisk.
- Use a rubber spatula to make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients.
Add in milk, egg, and melted butter. Using the same spatula, fold and mix ingredients until thoroughly combined. Do NOT over mix as this may cause the pancakes to turn out tough - Lightly brush a pan with a smear of butter under medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, scoop in ~1/4 cup of batter into pan. Turn down heat and let cook for 1-2 minutes until light brown.
- Flip pancake gently. Turn heat down to low-medium heat, and cover pan with a lid to “steam”/slow-cook the pancake for an additional 2-3 minutes. (This technique makes the pancakes real fluffy, soft, and moist.)
- Transfer to plate. Repeat steps.
- Serve with your favorite toppings such as fruits, whipped cream, coconut cream, and maple syrup.
- Enjoy!
Tip: if you are unsure if your pancakes are thoroughly cooked, you may use the toothpick test to see if it comes out clean. You may even use your cooking spatula to test by feeling the pancake. If it is soft but bouncy when you press on it, it’s cooked through. If it is still mushy and really soft, it may need more time.
