Healthy Matcha Waffles

Change up your normal waffle routing with these Healthy Matcha Waffles! Made dairy-free and gluten-free friendly, bursting with blueberries.

Matcha Waffle Ingredients

• whole wheat pastry flour or 1:1 gluten-free baking flour, or whole wheat white flour – if you want to use a blend of whole wheat with all-purpose, use half of each.
• high quality matcha – matcha is finely ground Japanese green tea leaves, different from just green tea.
• baking powder & baking soda – this helps get the correct rise for the waffles.
• granulated sugar – helps balance out the flavor of the matcha but you could omit.
• eggs & oil – for the perfect texture
• vanilla – for additional flavor
• non-dairy milk – use soy milk or oat milk to keep this recipe nut-free. Or use cashew, almond or coconut.

Freeze for Meal Prep

Allow the waffles to cool completely (on a wire rack if you have one) then store flat or two stacked in an airtight container, like a Stasher bag.

To Reheat

My favorite method for reheating waffles is in the toaster or toaster oven, about medium heat, because you get crisp edges.

Depending on your toaster, you may need to cycle through a couple times.

Alternatively you can use microwave, or warm up in a skillet over low-medium heat with lid.

• 1 large egg
• 2 TBS oil (avocado, sunflower, coconut, etc.)
• 2 TBS granulated sugar

2. In a large bowl whisk together egg, oil and sugar. Add in vanilla and milk, gently whisking to combine.
3. Add in flour, sprinkle in matcha, baking powder and salt; whisk until no lumps are present. Fold in blueberries or chocolate chips if using. Depending on your flour blend you may need a touch more milk here OR a tiny bit more flour. Batter should be pourable consistency.
4. Use 1/4 cup to pour batter into waffle iron; cook on low-medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until waffles are lightly golden. Every waffle iron is different so cook according to manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Keep in warm oven (about 160ºF) until ready to serve. Top with fresh blueberries and maybe some melted coconut butter!
6. Waffles freeze great and reheat lovely in toaster.

Recipes Notes:

Recipe yields about 8, 4″ waffles, when using 1/4 cup batter per waffle.

If you don’t love blueberries in waffles, feel free to omit. Chocolate chips would also be a great addition!

You can also use whole wheat white, or a combination of whole wheat with all-purpose, if not gluten free.
