Who wants ordinary waffles when you can have these amazing Matcha Green Tea Waffles instead? Wow, they are so delicious and easy to make with your trusty waffle maker!
These matcha waffles are so fluffy from the whipped egg whites, and a bit crispy on the edges. The matcha flavor is very subtle and gives the waffles a nice greenish hue. Aren't these matcha green tea waffles the prettiest things?
The waffle batter has a beautiful green hue from the matcha powder.
My mother-in-law had given me her tried-and-true waffle maker that she's used for probably more than 50 years. The plug was a bit scary but it didn't spark and cause a fire, thank the lord! But I have to tell you, the waffles came out perfectly!
Some waffle makers have squares and some have rounds. Either way, these waffles will cook up beautifully with whatever appliance you use!
