Simple Green Tea Waffles & Honey-Strawberry Syrup

I had the itch to make waffles for breakfast for weeks, but I just couldn’t find the time to make them because there were so many things in my mind lately…

Until this morning, I woke up earlier than usual (only 20 minutes early! Hehehe!) to the lovely sunshine and I immediately jumped to the kitchen and whipped up the waffle batter to fulfill my longing for waffles. Didn’t even really that I ran out of maple syrup until the hubby had mentioned that to me. Oh well! Lucky that I had a box of fresh strawberry sitting in the fridge for my smoothie that I could cut them up and mix with honey to go with my green tea waffles. Perfecto!

These green tea waffles were so light and airy with a strong hint of green tea and tasted so good just for itself without syrup – this confirmed by a big guy with sweet tooth!    I ended up eating my crispy waffles by dipping it in my hot coffee, just the way I like it. That just awesomely made this sunny day even brighter!  (^o^)

This batter made enough for 5 people. So, I put the leftovers in the Ziploc and freeze them for later!

 What you need:   for 10 regular size waffles

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. Matcha green tea powder
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 cups fresh strawberry, chopped
4-5 tbsp. honey

How to:

- Gently toss honey and strawberry together and set aside.
- Sift together (or not, up to you, I did) flour, green tea powder, baking powder, salt and sugar in a medium mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil. Add to the bowl of mixed flour and mix well until it has no lumps remain.
- Make the waffle accordingly to the waffle manufacture.
- Serve warm with honey-strawberry syrup or whatever your favorite syrup is…

Enjoy!
