green matcha pancakes {gf, df}

My mornings don’t usually allow time to whip up something very extravagant, but on the weekends I love to experiment with different pancake recipes. This has got to be one of the most delicious ways to satisfy a sweet brunch craving. While also getting your greens, grains, protein, and healthy fats in every bite. If you don’t have matcha not to worry - you can absolutely leave out or even sub for any flavorless or vanilla flavored protein powder.
​Give this one a go!

Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Yeilds approx. 8-9 small pancakes 


What you’ll need:

1/2 banana 
1 hearty handful of spinach
1 egg 
1/3 cup gluten free oats 
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tsp matcha powder
1/8 tsp baking powder 
1/8 tsp baking soda 
2 tbsp almond milk
Dash of cinnamon 

Optional add-ins:
1 tbsp flax meal
1 scoop vanilla protein or 
1 scoop collagen powder

Optional Toppings:
 banana slices, berries, sunflower seed butter, hemp seeds, chia seeds


What you’ll need to do:


1. Mix well all ingredients by hand or in your blender. 
2. Heat a nonstick pan {easiest for pancakes}, or you can use a well seasoned cast iron. 
3. Add a little bit of evoo or coconut oil if you’re not using a nonstick pan. 
4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter to make small pancakes, about 3-4”.
5. Watch for bubbles and flip!

I stacked with a little bit of greek yogurt in between each pancake, but you do you!

Happy brunching,
