Matcha Waffles
Weekend mornings just got better with my warm homemade Matcha Waffles. Lightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, these Matcha Waffles are easy to make and family friendly. They’re delicious with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or syrup or pair them with other brunch favorites like Crustless Zucchini Quiche or Roasted Za’atar Potatoes.
This Matcha Waffle recipe is adapted from my Fruity Pebble Waffles Recipe. Waffles are always a hit in my house and I love that I can freeze these and have them in a pinch for busy mornings.

- Culinary matcha powder.
- Milk.
- Eggs.

How to make Matcha Waffles
Step One: Gather all of the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sea salt, baking powder, matcha and sugar.
Step Two: Mix wet ingredients: In a medium size bowl, add the eggs, extract and milk. Gently mix to combine. Then add it to the dry mix. Stir until just mixed.
Step Three: Cook the waffles: Preheat your waffle iron and spray with non-stick spray. Add about ⅔ cup of the waffles batter. The amount used will be different depending on your waffle iron. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes.
Storing and reheating
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute.
Helpful tips for Matcha Waffles
- Cool on a rack: When cooling waffles, place them on a cooling rack and don’t stack them. Stacking them will cause them to get soggy.
- Choose the right matcha: Always use culinary grade matcha for baking.
- Every waffle maker is different: Serving size and cooking time will vary depending on the waffle maker you use.
- Adjust color and flavor: For more of a green hue and more stronger matcha flavor, add more powder. You can add an extra ½ to 1 teaspoon of matcha powder.
- Dietary swaps: Use 1:1 gluten free flour if you need it to be gluten free.
Serving suggestions
These Matcha Waffles can be paired with fresh berries, topped with whipped cream or maple syrup. They go great with simple breakfast meats like bacon, sausage or ham.
For a full breakfast spread, pair with egg dishes like Crustless Zucchini Quiche or Shrimp Shakshuka. If you’re looking for more breakfast pairing inspiration, check out my guide on What to Eat With Waffles.
