Delicious Matcha Waffles Recipe
I can't think of a go-to brunch recipe that I try more often than waffles. What about you? But I'm always looking for ways to shake things up with those classic recipes I use again and again. So....matcha waffles are coming at you today!They not only look different than your typical waffles (they're a pretty pastel green color), but they taste a little different too...in a good way. If you're a matcha lover, you've got to try these! Click through for the recipe.
Servings: 10 waffles
Equipment
- waffle iron
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1-2 tbsp of matcha powder mine are packets from Trader Joes
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron. Then, sift together the flour, sugar, match powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the butter, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray and spoon the batter into the wells. Cook according to the machine you're using (usually only takes a few minutes) and flip if necessary.
- Once cooked, add homemade whipped cream, fruit, and powdered sugar to garnish. Or eat as is with honey or maple syrup. I added strawberries, kumquats, whipped cream, and butterscotch syrup on mine.
- OR a Semi Homemade Option
- If combining all those ingredients above is too much, you could also create a semi-homemade recipe using a box waffle mix.
- Just add the ingredients according to the packaging and then add in 1-2 tbsp of matcha powder to the mix before cooking. Super easy breakfast for a lazy morning.
Notes
FYI - You'll need a waffle iron for this recipe, unless you plan to convert the idea to pancakes. My waffle iron is from Amazon (linked at the beginning of this blog post).
