Some people don’t like Mondays – but with Matcha Green Tea Pancakes to start the week with, who could complain?!
This delicious homemade recipe is brought to us at Kenko Tea by the super talented Carmen Chan from @cahmun.
Carmen Chan is a nutrition student from Vancouver who loves to document the delicious things she eats and how she creates them on her instagram, Cahmun.
Now, just because Carmen’s Matcha Green Tea Pancakes are easy to make, that doesn’t mean they’re like the fast food versions we know – it’s all sugar-free, with sweetness coming from natural honey. You can top your pancake stack with condensed milk if you like, or just cover it with fresh fruits like mangoes and peaches, which pair very well with the matcha green tea flavour.
The Kinako powder that is used for the topping is simply roasted soybean flour, a popular culinary ingredient from Japan. It’s mostly used in rice cakes like mochi and similar desserts, with a nutty taste that’s very distinctive. Kinako is gluten free and full of vitamin B and protein.
If you can’t find it in the stores, check out this link for how to make your own Kinako - it’s a great alternative to wheat flour.
Now, let’s get the week started right with Carmen Chan’s delicious Matcha Green Tea Pancakes:
These matcha pancakes make the perfect breakfast for your family and friends – if you want to share that is!
