Matcha Greek Yogurt Pancakes


Ingredients:

3/4 cup plain 2% fat Greek yogurt

2 large eggs

1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple or date syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract

6 ounces oat flour* (about 1 1/2 cups)

2 teaspoons culinary matcha powder**

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup whole milk or milk of choice

2 tablespoons avocado oil

Suggested toppings: vanilla Greek yogurt, raspberries, pure maple or date syrup

 

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and extracts until

smooth. In a medium bowl, stir together with a fork the flour, matcha, baking

powder, and salt until evenly combined.

 

2. Then whisk the milk into the yogurt mixture. Whisk the oat flour mixture into the

yogurt mixture. (Hint: If batter seems too thick, add more milk by the teaspoon to

thin.)

 

3. Heat half the oil in two medium or large stick-resistant skillets over medium heat.

Ladle in 2/3 cup batter each (spread out to about 6 1/2 inches) and cook until

pancakes are richly browned, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on first side and 1 minute on

the flip side (timing varies). Transfer to plates and repeat with the remaining oil and

batter. (Makes 4 pancakes total.)

 

4. Top pancakes with toppings of choice and serve.

 

*For even higher protein, use 2 tablespoons of protein powder in place of 2 tablespoons

oat flour.

**Start with 2 teaspoons matcha powder the first time you make these. If you love it,

consider adding 1 to 2 teaspoons more the next time.
