You’ve heard of green eggs and ham…but have you heard of GREEN PANCAKES!? These pancakes are fluffy, full of flavor and so festive for St. Patrick’s Day! The green color comes from the matcha powder added to the mix. As you’ll come to find out, we are pretty much addicted to matcha and love any excuse to be able to use it in our recipes!
What is matcha? Matcha green tea powder is traditionally used to make matcha green tea beverages. However, it can also be a great addition to sweet treats and baked goods. The tea powder and matcha drinks have become increasingly popular in western culture over the past decade. Additionally, there has been a large health movement with matcha, as it is a great source of antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory benefits.
What is does matcha taste like? Some may say that matcha tastes like leaves or grass. Which is a great observation, and can turn people off from trying matcha in different ways. For some people matcha can be an acquired taste, but we guarantee you, these matcha green tea pancakes are a treat!! The flavor of the matcha powder is a surprisingly good addition to baked goods.
