Tool Requirements

You’ll need a few key items to whip up some tasty matcha pancakes. Grab a large mixing bowl to combine your ingredients. A whisk works well for smoothly blending the batter.

A non-stick skillet or griddle is ideal for cooking the pancakes evenly. Make sure it’s at least 10 inches wide to fit multiple pancakes at once.

Don’t forget a spatula for flipping! A wide, thin spatula helps you slide under the pancakes easily without breaking them.

Measuring cups and spoons are crucial for getting the right ratios of ingredients. This ensures your pancakes turn out fluffy and delicious every time.

Lastly, have a plate ready to stack your finished pancakes. If you want to keep them warm while cooking the whole batch, put the plate in a low oven.

With these simple tools on hand, you’ll be all set to make perfect matcha pancakes in no time.

Preparing The Ingredients

Get ready to whip up some tasty matcha pancakes! First, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, plant-based milk, oil, and of course, matcha powder.

Measure out the dry ingredients carefully. Precision matters for fluffy pancakes. Sift the flour to remove any lumps – this extra step makes a big difference.

For the wet ingredients, choose your favorite non-dairy milk. Almond, soy, or oat all work great. Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor if you like.

The star of the show is matcha powder. Pick a high-quality ceremonial grade for the best taste and color. Start with 1-2 teaspoons and adjust to your liking.

Mix the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls. This prevents overmixing when you combine them. Nobody wants tough pancakes!

Let your batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in tender pancakes.

Variations To Try

Want to mix things up with your matcha pancakes?

• Try adding some fun mix-ins. Throw in a handful of chocolate chips for a sweet twist. Or fold in some fresh berries for a burst of fruity flavor.
• Feeling nutty? Sprinkle in some chopped almonds or walnuts. They’ll give your pancakes a nice crunch. You could also try swirling in a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness.
• For a tropical vibe, add some shredded coconut to the batter. Pair it with sliced bananas on top for a tasty combo. If you’re in the mood for something warm and cozy, try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.
• Want to get fancy? Whip up some coconut whipped cream to dollop on top. Or drizzle your stack with maple syrup infused with a bit of matcha powder.
• Don’t forget about savory options too. Try adding some chopped chives or green onions to the batter. Top your pancakes with avocado slices and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a fun twist on breakfast.

Storage Tips

Keep your matcha pancakes fresh by storing them properly.

• Let them cool completely before putting them away. This prevents moisture build-up that can make them soggy.
• Place the cooled pancakes in an airtight container. Line it with parchment paper to stop them from sticking together. You can stack them with paper between each layer.
• Pop the container in the fridge if you plan to eat the pancakes within 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months.
• To reheat, use a toaster or skillet for best results. Avoid microwaving as it can make them rubbery. If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
• For the batter, store it in a sealed jar in the fridge. Use within 24 hours for the best texture and flavor. Give it a quick stir before cooking.
• These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh. But with proper storage, you can savor them later too.
