1-Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon matcha powder until evenly combined. This ensures no clumps in your green tea pancakes.

2-Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients Stir in 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1 egg, 1 1/4 cups almond milk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth. Small lumps are fine, do not overmix.

3-Step 3: Rest the Batter Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Resting helps the flavors blend and baking powder activate.

4-Step 4: Prep the Cooking Surface Lightly spray the cooking surface with cooking spray. Test heat with a drop of batter, it should sizzle gently.

5-Step 5: Cook the Pancakes Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear in the center and edges look set. Flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until golden.

6-Step 6: Stack and Serve Repeat with remaining batter to make a stack. Keep warm in a low oven if needed. Top with syrup or fruit for the best matcha pancake recipe.
