GREEN WAFFLES!!!!!
I feel like this recipe is a kid’s dream. Why? Because the waffles are green. Duh. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Matcha waffles for St. Patty’s Day…kids and all.
The Secret Ingredient
There is obviously a secret ingredient in turning these waffles green and I’m sure you can guess it from the title of this recipe –> matcha powder! What is matcha powder? Matcha powder is essentially green tea leaves that have been finely ground into a loose powder. A little goes a long way with matcha powder, which is why this recipe only calls for 2.5 teaspoons.
Other Ingredients
In addition to matcha powder, you only need 8 other ingredients to get the show on the road! Matcha Powder

Gluten Free Waffle Tips
Temperature: Make sure to cook your waffles low and slow. Why? Well, you want them to turn our green, don’t you? If you cook your waffles on high, you risk turning them golden brown, which kind defeats the purpose. Liquid: As your batter sits, it will likely thicken. No worries! Just add a splash of almond milk and you’re good to go! Cooking Spray: Don’t forget to spray spray spray your waffle maker. No one likes a sticky mess if your waffle ends up sticking! Double the Recipe: Easily double or triple this recipe so that you can freeze some for later! You can thank me later.
Freezer Directions
To reheat: let waffles thaw completely and microwave on high for 60-90 seconds. Alternatively, you can defrost in the microwave!
