Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour (~125g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp vegan protein powder (optional, for a high-protein option)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar (can be substituted with mashing a ripe banana)
  • 2 tsp matcha powder

Wet ingredients

  • 250 ml soy milk
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

To cook

  • oil or plant butter
  • fresh or frozen fruits of choice *
  • 2 tbsp coconut yogurt (or other plant yogurt of choice)

Instructions

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and matcha powder). Sift the matcha powder to avoid clumps. Mix well.
  2. Combine the soy milk and lime juice. Let sit for 1 minute until curdle. This will be your vegan buttermilk.
  3. Add the vegan buttermilk to the dry mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. Add more milk if needed to reach the desired consistency.
  4. In a pan on medium heat, add oil or plant butter.
  5. Add about 1/4 cup of the batter to the pan, scroll the pan around so that the batter is distributed evenly.
  6. When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, flip the pancake and repeat the steps to finish the batter.
  7. Stack the pancakes on top of each other or lay them flat on a plate.
  8. Add yogurt and fruit toppings for each serving. Enjoy!

Notes

I used persimmon for the fruit topping as it's in season. You can use strawberry, mango, blueberry, bananas, or other fresh/frozen fruits to top!
