Mini Matcha & Hojicha Pancakes Cereal
Description
The recipe starts by combining egg, avocado or neutral vegetable oil, sugar, and whole milk into a smooth batter before adding all-purpose flour and baking powder for leavening. The batter is then split evenly into two bowls, each mixed with a heaping teaspoon of matcha green tea powder or hojicha powder, lending distinct earthy and roasted flavors respectively.
Using squeeze bottles or small bags for precision, quarter-sized rounds of batter are cooked on a lightly greased griddle or pan over medium heat. Each batch cooks for about a minute on each side, resulting in soft, bite-sized pancakes with lightly browned edges and a tender crumb. The dual tea flavors provide contrast and variety.
These mini pancakes can be served as cereal with milk or enjoyed as petite snacks or breakfast treats. Their small size allows for playful presentation and easy portion control, celebrating tea flavors in a simple pancake form.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral vegetable oil + extra for the griddle
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 C milk or non-dairy alternative, whole
- 1 C all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 heaped tsp matcha green tea powder

Instructions

- Split the batter in half into 2 separate bowls and stir in 1 heaped teaspoon of matcha to one batter, and stir 1 heaped teaspoon of hojicha powder to the other batter.
- Carefully transfer each batter into a separate squeeze bottle/Ziploc bag.
- Heat the griddle/pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
- Squeeze quarter-sized rounds onto the griddle and let it cook for about 1 minute. (By the time you're done squeezing the first batch, the first pancakes will be ready to flip).
