Keyword: St. patrick's day, Waffles

Skill: intermediate

Servings:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon matcha green tea

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup oil

1 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnishes: 4 bananas, peeled and sliced into coins, honey, and 1 cup roasted, salted pistachios, roughly chopped

Combine flour, baking powder, matcha powder, and salt in the cup of a blender. Secure the lid and pulse to sift the dry ingredients until the matcha powder is evenly mixed into the flour.
Add wet ingredients and blend on medium speed just until the mixture is combined. Do not over mix. Allow mixture to rest for about 5 minutes before preparing waffles.
To prepare waffles, heat waffle iron according to manufacturers instructions. When waffle iron is preheated, add about 1/3 cup batter at the center of the iron. Close waffle maker and bake until waffles are crisp on the outside, about 2-3 minutes in most units, depending on thickness.
Top waffles with sliced bananas, honey, and pistachios to serve.
