Vegan Matcha Buttermilk Waffles

April 11, 2022

Vegan Matcha Buttermilk Waffles

Vegan Matcha Buttermilk Waffles with a beautiful green tinge, the perfect fluffy texture and a just sweet enough vanilla and matcha flavour. These are the best matcha waffles, and super simple to make!

Using Matcha in your Buttermilk Waffles

Vegan Matcha Buttermilk Waffles

Matcha is popular for its creamy, earthy yet slightly sweet taste and its smooth caffeinated effects. The kick that matcha gives is gentle but powerful. It gives a boost of concentration and focus, rather than the harsh jolt that coffee gives you.

This lovely fine powder can be added to many baking recipes, for a slight matcha flavour and pretty green tinge. When added to waffles, matcha gives a little green hue and a complex sweet flavour.

If you’re expecting your matcha waffles to be bright green in colour, they won’t be. You would have to add a lot of matcha powder to make your waffles super green! I use Soar Organics matcha, which is high quality but…as lovers of matcha know, this tea powder cost a pretty penny! So it doesn’t make sense to add much more than you need just to get a green colour.

This Vegan Matcha Buttermilk Waffles recipe will get you pretty waffles with a beautiful green tinge. The flavour is absolutely divine as well.

But, if you’re bent on having bright green waffles, you’ll need to add spinach to the mix. Simply puree a small handful of spinach and add to your waffle batter.

Buttermilk & Ground Flaxseed

Vegan Matcha Buttermilk Waffles

The role of buttermilk in most recipes is to give acid in order to react with baking soda and cause it to ‘rise’ more. Vegan buttermilk works the same way. It gives a big fluffy waffle that is a step up form your normal waffles. When infused with the matcha powder, your buttermilk in this recipe not only gives oomph but a lovely flavour.

As seasoned vegans knows, ground flax is used as a binder in recipes. It’s a healthy and plant-based substitution for eggs. So, you don’t want to replace the ground flaxseed in this recipe. Ensure it’s ground flaxseed, that is a flaxseed meal, and NOT flax seeds. It needs to be ground flax in order to form a paste in your batter.

Berries, Maple & Mint Toppings

Top your Vegan Matcha Buttermilk Waffles with fresh fruits. Strawberries really compliment the flavour of the matcha well. I topped mine with some fresh mint leaves too. For an extra special touch, always be sure to heat up your maple syrup! It keeps your waffles nice and toasty warm and is such a nice touch.
