Why have plain waffles when you can have matcha waffles? Light and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, you’d be surprised how easy this green tea waffle recipe is to make.
Matcha Green Tea Waffles from Scratch
These waffles looks delicious, right? Yup, they are! This matcha (green tea) waffles recipe is not only easy to make, but is also pretty to look at.
There aren’t any fancy ingredients needed for this recipe — you probably have them in the pantry. Well, except for the matcha.
What I love most about this recipe is that you can freeze them and they’ll toast up perfectly. Make a double or triple batch and store the waffles in the freezer. When you want a quick breakfast or even a snack, take one out and pop it in the toaster oven.
They’re WAY better than your store-bought frozen waffles.

Here’s What I Used to Make This Recipe:
- Matcha
I love this matcha for lattes and recipes. Great color and quality. If you don’t want to spend so much, get this lower priced matcha. - All purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, vegetable oil, salt, milk, egg
- Mixing bowls and whisk
To mix the dry and wet ingredients. - Ladle
Preferably one with a little spout for easy pouring, to scoop the waffle mix to the waffle maker. - Waffle maker
Obviously essential! - Maple syrup and salted culture butter
A trick to getting the matcha green to show through is not to completely fill the waffle maker with the mix.

Ladle on the mix from the center so it’ll spread out, but not touching the outer edges.
Make the entire batch (or two) over the weekend and freeze the waffles for a quick breakfast during the week. All you have to do is pop them in the toaster oven and they’ll warm up beautifully. If you’re lazy like me, you’ll love it.
Matcha Green Tea Waffles Recipe Tips
- The main tip is not to fill the entire waffle maker with the waffle mix so that the green will show through. Just ladle enough to fill in the middle.
- Whole milk works best for this recipe.
- Add a little ice cream and you’ve got dessert!
