Easy Matcha Pancakes

These Easy Matcha Pancakes are quick and delicious!  The matcha flavor is subtle, but pairs perfectly with the honey. While the chocolate chips are optional, they’re surprisingly complimentary! Using a pre-made pancake mix as the base speeds this meal up immensely. It only takes a few minutes to throw everything together!

This colorful green breakfast is perfect for holidays like St. Patrick’s Day or Christmas, as well as for fun family weekend mornings!

If you’re not a traditional chocolate person, you could also try adding in a sprinkle of white chocolate chips as a sweet add-in. If you prefer pairing your pancakes with fruit, bananas and strawberries work well.

(Of course keep in mind that matcha does contain caffeine, so depending on how sensitive you are these may give you a boost!) We used Mighty Leaf Matcha, but use whichever brand you prefer.

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

This is your two favorite breakfasts combined: Pancakes and Cinnamon Rolls.  All you need is 3 ingredients!

Ingredients:

Birch Benders Classic Pancake Mix (or preferred)

Melted Butter

Saigon Cinnamon (such as McCormick – it’s much sweeter than traditional cinnamon)

Directions:

Whip up the desired amount of pancakes

Melt the butter in a small bowl and then stir in the cinnamon

I use the ratio of roughly 1 tablespoon melted butter to 3 teaspoons Saigon cinnamon, but this can be adjusted to taste!

Between the sweetness of the pancakes and the sweetness of the cinnamon you can leave it at that, but you can also incorporate your favorite sweetener before adding the topping to your cakes

Enjoy!
