Why choose Orivé Matcha Pancakes?

With Orivé Matcha, you give classic pancakes a refined taste and a natural green appearance. Combined with creamy yogurt, fresh fruit, and a little honey, it creates a perfectly balanced dish that is ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat.
Ingredients
For about 8 small matcha pancakes, you will need:
- 150 grams of flour
- 2 eggs
- 250 ml oat milk or milk
- 2 teaspoons Orivé Matcha
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the topping
- Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- Fresh strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Banana
- Kiwi
- Chopped pistachios or almonds (optional)
- Extra Orivé Matcha
- Honey or maple syrup (optional)
How to make Matcha Pancakes
Put the flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and Orivé Matcha in a mixing bowl. Whisk everything until you have a smooth batter without lumps.
Let the batter rest for five to ten minutes so that all the ingredients can combine well.
Heat a lightly greased frying pan over medium heat. Ladle small amounts of batter into the pan and cook the pancakes for about two minutes per side, until they are golden brown and easily come loose.
Stack the pancakes or serve them individually, depending on the desired presentation.
Finish with a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, and a light dusting of Orivé Matcha. Optionally, add some honey or maple syrup for a subtle sweet touch.
Serve immediately while the pancakes are still warm.

This way, you can turn every stack of matcha pancakes into a colorful breakfast, an elaborate brunch, or a special dessert.
Why Orivé Matcha?
At Orivé, quality is central. That's why Orivé Matcha is made from carefully selected tea leaves from Japan. The tea plants grow in the shade for several weeks before the leaves are carefully harvested and slowly ground into an ultra-fine powder.
This preserves the natural green color, fresh aroma, and delicate taste optimally. Thanks to its fine structure, the matcha mixes effortlessly into the batter, giving each pancake an even color and a refined taste.
