The pancakes are a very typical breakfast in the United States, but they have become very famous all over the world; this fluffy flour-based dessert is delicious, quick to prepare and can easily be made healthier. It is fantastic with butter and honey, but also with chocolate and fresh fruit.
To create today’s recipe I have been inspired in the Japanese pastry and its very spongy and green pancakes (usually for the matcha); my recipe is a little different, it is caffeine free so I have used kale powder to give it the green color and the bitter touch that the matcha has. It is accompanied very well with the Italian meringue or the rhubarb jam 🙂
