These light and fluffy matcha pancakes are served with fruit, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Not only is it super delicious, but it also makes a stunning presentation. Perfect for Mother’s Day brunch or a Sunday breakfast with your loved ones.
I’m not the type of person who misses home every second. However, when Mother’s Day approaches, I do miss the mother-daughter time I had back in China. My mom has a sweet tooth – on the weekends when we went to the mall, we would always go to our favorite Hong Kong dessert place, order bubble tea, and snack on small plates. While my choice of snack has always been salty things, such as crispy tofu and chicken wings, she prefers sweet pancakes and waffles.
Although I’m not able to spend this year’s Mother’s Day with her, I decided to develop this recipe as a Mother’s Day gift. After she retired, she started to learn to make desserts at home, and she enjoys hosting brunch with her friends. These matcha pancakes are perfect for such occasions.
These matcha pancakes take no time to prepare. They have a beautiful mild green color and a fragrant green tea taste. I garnish them with whipped cream and strawberries, which makes a stunning presentation.
I used my Vitamix to make the batter, which cuts the prep time down to as little as 5 minutes. However, you can make this recipe without a blender, as well (I’ve included the method in the recipe below). Make sure you use a large skillet so you can cook several pancakes at a time.
I enjoy serving the pancakes with whipped cream and just a drizzle of maple syrup, which brings out the green tea flavor. I also serve extra fruit on the side to snack on. Serve some mimosas in champagne glasses, and you’ll have a beautiful, delicious, and full brunch ready in 20 minutes.

Matcha Pancakes (Green Tea pancakes)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder (green tea powder)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (Optional) (*Footnote 1)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for cooking
Topping options
- Whipped cream
- Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and/or raspberries)
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine all-purpose flour, matcha powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir to mix well.
- Combine milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a blender (I used Vitamix). Blend at medium speed until everything is well mixed, 30 to 40 seconds. Add the mixed dry ingredients into the blender. Mix at low speed for 20 seconds, until the flour is just incorporated and it formed a runny batter. Transfer the batter to a big bowl.
- If you do not own a blender, combine all the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with a whisk until well combined. Then add the mixed dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just incorporated.
- Add oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet and heat over medium heat until hot. Turn to low heat. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to transfer batter into the pan to form pancakes, with some gap in between. Cook until the bottom browns and bubbles pop on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until lightly browned, 1 minute or so. Transfer to a big plate. Cook the rest of the batter using the same method. Add a bit more oil if needed.
- Serve the hot pancakes with whipped cream, mixed berries, and / or maple syrup, if needed. Enjoy!

Nice giveaway, if I can enter, thank you! I’m not on the Instagram Zuckerberg train, tho.
I would make many different types of smoothies because smoothies are so good for my health
Soooo many amazing recipes to be made with a Vitamix!! It’s hard to decide, but I’d love to make super rich coconut curry pumpkin soup or the smoothest nice cream! My instagram handle is @gabrielamariana9 and I tagged @maruchirt.
These pancakes seem like the perfff Vitamix recipe!! My instagram handle is @gabrielamariana9 and I tagged @upciclozerowaste.

If I had a vitamix, I would make salsa all the time! @yuxin17
https://www.instagram dot com/ iselsharisse / Three stars for the recipe just for sounding so awesome yum!
Nonetheless, the first recipe I would try with my very own Vitamix is cocoa nibs hot cocoa because the 3 lb bag of organic, raw nibs is going very slowly with us munching a few here and there, and our blender just can’t do them justice.
Next I’d the Match Pancakes, and maybe even a Matcha cocoa nib knock off your recipe!

What a great idea – I can get my caffeine fix in a stack of pancakes! I think this will help me wake up on a lazy Sunday morning. Thank you for the recipe, and I will skip the giveaway.
I would definitely make pancakes but I’ve been wanting to try to make my own sauces, mayo, BBQ sauce etc ☺️

If I win, the first thing I would make is my favorite whole wheat waffle recipe. I start by grinding my wheat berries right in the blender with the rest of the ingredients and in 10 minutes, I’m eating the best waffles ever. Once I had them, they’re the only ones I eat. #kathyallen2116
I love matcha!
And I would love to make this recipe celiac friendly (glute free) and dairy free! I also have been wanting to make something a friend made me with the vitamix once, it was a chocolate mousse made with cashews and avocado and cocoa powder!!! Yum yum and super healthy!!

If i had a Vitamix i would make a pistachio hummus. Also my friend has one and she says she can use all the plants and grind up the seeds, even avocado seeds for extra nutrients, so this must be a pretty amazing machine!!
If I had a Vitamix I would make lots of smoothies in addition to lots of soups and nut milks.

@soyalifrias honestly, I would do smoothies everyday so I won’t forget eating breakfast. Sounds like a great machine for lazy girls.
What I’d make if I had a Vitamix is a lot of smoothies and pretty much anything to incorporate even more fruits and veg into meals. IG: @tharrisstyle
Tagged @whole_shawna IG: @tharrisstyle
I would probably start with smoothies, since that is all I can make in my blender. I would have to do a lot of reading to see what a Vitamin can do!

I have been looking for the right recipe for matcha powder and this is it! I used gluten free flour and coconut milk. The GF flour required more coconut milk to get the right consistency for a pancake but after the tweaking, they turned out great! I made them to go with Maggie’s Crispy Oven Fried Chicken and it was a winning combination 🙂
I would make almond butter for myself and smoothies for my dorm kids (30 of them). The dorm students love acai bowls and I think the Vitamix would do a really great job of that. A vitamix would also be great for blending fruit so we could make fruit leather for snacks in our dehydrator. Instagram: @kaluasan

Hi Maggie,
Can you tell me what brand of Matcha you used on the green tea pancake…I used a premium brand from Taiwan and didn’t come out green at all, it looked rather brownish.
Tasted great! I was out of Matcha so substituted Moringa Leaf Powder. Otherwise, I followed the directions exactly using my 25 year-old Vitamix. I’ll try again this weekend after I replenish my supply of Matcha.
I used oat flour, olive oil instead of butter, left out salt and sugar, and topped with sliced strawberries. Yum!
Made this recipe for me, friends and fam and everyone loved the pancakes! The matcha flavor is strong, and the pancakes alone aren’t too sweet. Will be making again~
I want to try this recipe, but with 1 cup milk and 1 cup coconut milk or coconut cream, maybe 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup coconut cream.
