Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (120g) rice flour
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter (plus extra for cooking)

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

Prepare the Batter:

In a large bowl, whisk together rice flour, almond flour, baking powder, matcha powder, sugar (if using), and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.

Heat the Pan:

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.

Cook the Pancakes:

Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
