Vegan Matcha Pancakes
Hello & Happy Saturday!!
I’ve created countless matcha concepts, but sadly, pancakes I wasn’t a fan of. I tried with whole wheat, and for whatever reason I just didn’t take to them. That being said, I wanted to revisit this staple concept as I’ve been using a full proof pancake base!
Honestly, pancakes are one of the easiest concepts to throw together. However, when it comes to vegan pancakes I have come across some complete duds! typically when you’re compensating for a lack of egg to serve as a binder, the batter can easily become oversaturated. That leaves the batter unable to cook all the way thru and you’re just left with a soggy mess. However, this base always works!
Needless to say, the today the vegan Matcha Pancakes were reborn! lol
What I love about these pancakes is everything! They are quick, easy, light, fluffy, pack matcha, you can even throw in spinach, made with staple ingredients, no oil, no vegan egg, you could do whole wheat flour if desired, perf for any season, feature classic coconut whip, and non vegan approved!
If you love all things matcha, then this recipe for Matcha Pancakes is for you!
Why this recipe is great:
Easy
Affordable
No oil
No vegan egg
Aesthetic appeal
Perf for any season
Non vegan approved

I would love to add some protein powder to these. How would I add it? Subbing out some of the flour? Adding more liquids?
Thanks so much!! I really look forward to making these!! ? ??
Hi Cassandra! I would take out a little bit of flour and if the texture is too dry you can always add more almond milk. Let me know how the recipe turns out!
These are delicious! I’ve made this recipes twice in the last three days using whole wheat flour – first with Matcha and then without – both times they were a hit. Curious what the purpose of the lemon is. Thx!
This recipe worked great for waffles too! Needed very little time in the waffle iron to cook to perfection. Delicious!
Thanks for sharing Joanne!
