Equipment

  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Frying Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-raising flour (or gluten free oat flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp matcha powder (heaping)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Chocolate Chips
  • Matcha Powder

Instructions

  • Mix wet ingredients - milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract - and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sift flour and combine other dry ingredients like baking powder, sugar, matcha powder and salt.
  • Combine wet ingredients with dry but do not overmix! Overmixing will cause the batter to become dense.
  • You can fold in chocolate chips into the batter or add them as you are frying your pancakes.
  • Heat your frying pan with minimal heat. Pour 1-2 scoops of batter to the frying pan, ensuring the pan is very mildly hot.
  • Add in chocolate chips if you have yet to in the previous step. Once you see bubbles on one side, flip over the pancakes. The pancakes should look smooth in texture.
  • Repeat this for the rest of the pancakes and serve with maple syrup or melted chocolate. Top of with extra matcha powder.

Notes

  1. You can substitute self-raising flour for gluten-free oat flour or regular oat flour. 
  2. Instead of coconut sugar, you can also use brown sugar or refined sugar. 
  3. The type of plant milk used can also be kept flexible - I used oat milk. You can use soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk, hazelnut milk...the options are endless!
  4. Ensure the chocolate chips you use are vegan. Many chocolate brands contain milk solids.
