Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon high-quality matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for drizzle)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for drizzle)
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift flour and matcha powder into a large bowl to remove clumps. Whisk in sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Prepare the Batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined. Transfer batter into a squeeze bottle or a plastic bag with a small corner snipped off.
- Cook the Mini Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Squeeze tiny dots of batter (about coin-sized) onto the pan.
- Flip and Finish: Once bubbles form on the surface (1-2 minutes), flip each dot and cook for another 30-60 seconds. Remove to a bowl.
- Melt the Drizzle: Microwave white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second bursts until smooth.
- Assemble and Serve: Top the pancake cereal with fresh blackberries, a generous drizzle of white chocolate, and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
Keep the heat medium-low to ensure the pancakes stay bright green rather than browning. Sifting the matcha is a crucial step to avoid bitter green clumps in your batter. For a classic cereal experience, you can also serve these in a bowl with cold milk.
