Matcha Pancakes

These Matcha Pancakes offer a delicious twist on traditional pancakes by incorporating earthy matcha green tea powder. They have a vibrant green color and subtle sweetness, making them a perfect choice for brunch or a special breakfast. They’re great topped with white chocolate chips, honey, or fresh fruit.

2. Make a well in the center and add 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon of cashew milk, egg, olive oil, and vanilla extract.

3. Gently whisk until just combined; small lumps are okay.

4. Fold in the white chocolate chips.

5. Lightly grease a small pan and heat over medium-low heat.

6. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the pan, spreading slightly.
