Shizuoka Green Tea "Healthy" Crepes!

Matcha--is there anything better? I seriously love any kind of matcha sweets! (and I may or may not purchase to many...) If you read my blog last month, you will know that I started experimenting with matcha in the kitchen. I buy matcha sweets so much, that I at least should try to save some money by making them at home! Haha. I had some of the matcha pancake powder left over from last months challenge, so I decided to make a kind of healthy matcha crepe!

I tried to make it pretty... 

The pancake mix that I purchased only costed 599 yen and it is super simple to make! What combo could be a better combo? The only other ingredient to make the batter is water! I am not sure exactly how much because I eye balled it, but there are measurements on the package. The important part for making crepes is to make the batter a bit more runny than you would for pancakes. (The measurement on the package is for pancakes, so add a little more. After cooking the first crepe, if the batter is too dense, just add a bit more water.

My pancake mix!

After preparing the batter, all you need to do is oil and heat up a pan, spread the batter very thinly on the pan and flip it when it is ready! 

Once I had used up all of my batter, I had to fill them and roll them up! Lately, I have been eating a lot of sweets, so I wanted to make this recipe a bit healthier. Therefore, I used yogurt, honey, and bananas. (I honestly threw bananas in because I had purchased too many!!) They were not overly sweet, but still very tasty. If you are looking for some regular crepes you could always choose a different filling. I think whip cream, brownie chunks, and chocolate sauce would make an awesome combo. Or whip cream and some kind of fruit would be quite tasty as well. 

This is the yogurt that I used for my filling!

I was happy with my result. The matcha flavor came through very well. (Especially compared to when I made funnel cakes.) My planish yogurt flavor worked pretty well too! I think next time, I will try a nice sugary and unhealthy version! I can't wait! 

What are some of your favorite matcha flavored sweets or recipes?

Happy Cooking!!
