These fluffy matcha mochi pancakes combine chewy mochiko flour with earthy matcha powder for a unique and delightful breakfast treat that is both soft and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) mochiko flour (sweet rice flour)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (about 5g) matcha powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together mochiko flour, all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt. (5 minutes)
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. (3 minutes)
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay. (2 minutes)
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter or oil and spread evenly. The pan is ready when a few drops of water sizzle and evaporate. (3 minutes)
  5. Using a 1/4 cup (60ml) measure, scoop batter onto the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Carefully flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed. (10 minutes)
  6. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and loosely cover with foil while finishing the rest.
  7. Stack the pancakes and top with your favorite accompaniments like fresh berries or maple syrup. Serve warm.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for better mixing and rising. Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Let the batter rest 5-10 minutes for better chewiness. Medium heat is best to avoid burning. Use a thin spatula to flip gently. Keep cooked pancakes warm loosely covered to maintain fluffiness. If batter is too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time. Adjust matcha powder to taste but avoid bitterness.
