Green Tea And Coconut Pancakes

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons matcha powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (see note)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• butter for greasing skillet

1. NOTE: If you can only find unsweetened coconut flakes, I suggest cutting back or eliminating the sugar from this recipe.
2. In a medium bowl mix together the flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder and salt.
3. In a small bowl beat together the coconut flakes, egg, milk, vanilla and extra virgin olive oil.
4. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined--the batter should be a little lumpy.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Very lightly grease the skillet with the butter. Scoop batter onto the hot skillet, about 1/4 c. per pancake, leaving plenty of space between each one. You will probably have to cook the pancakes in batches (unless you have a massive skillet!).
6. Once the pancake batter begins to bubble on top, flip it over and cook the other side. Remove to a plate once cooked through. (If desired, place cooked pancakes into a 200 degree oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes)
7. Once the pancakes are all cooked, serve topped with a bit of butter, a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup.
