Ingredients
IngredientsFor the Pancakes:
- Whole-Wheat Flour: 1 cup for a fiber-rich base.
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon to help the pancakes rise.
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon to balance flavors.
- Egg: 1 large egg for structure and protein.
- Milk: ¾ cup dairy or plant-based, for a smooth batter.
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon for flavor.
- Coconut Oil or Butter: 1 tablespoon melted, for moisture.
- Raw Honey: 2 tablespoons plus extra for drizzling.
Ingredients For the Matcha Latte:
- Matcha Powder: 1 teaspoon for vibrant green color and earthy flavor.
- Hot Water: 2 tablespoons to dissolve the matcha.
- Milk: 1 cup dairy or plant-based, steamed or frothed.
- Raw Honey: 1 teaspoon for sweetness (optional).
Instructions
Step1: Make the Pancake Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter. Stir in the raw honey until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Step2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of coconut oil or butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if needed.
Step3: Prepare the Matcha Latte
- In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps. Add the hot water and whisk vigorously until the matcha is smooth and frothy.
- Heat the milk until steaming, then froth it using a milk frother or whisk.
- Pour the frothed milk into a mug, then gently stir in the matcha mixture. Sweeten with raw honey if desired.
Step4: Serve Your Healthy Breakfast
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle generously with raw honey.
- Add fresh fruit like sliced bananas, berries, or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Serve the pancakes alongside your warm matcha latte for a complete, energizing breakfast.
