What are Earl Grey Pancakes?
Earl Grey Pancakes are made of a batter that consists of flour, baking powder, oat milk, egg, vanilla extract, maple syrup, oil and earl grey tea. The earl grey flavor is extracted from quality tea leaves to maximize on that taste. I love having these for breakfast with a cup of earl grey milk tea. The two combined as a heavenly way to enjoy a meal and start the day right! These are especially wonderful to make on the weekend for your family or to impress guests.

How to Make Fluffy Earl Grey Pancakes
Pancakes
- In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
- In a small pot set on high heat, add milk and tea leaves. Bring to a boil until the milk is brown. Run the liquid through a strainer to remove the leaves. Let this cool.
- In a separate large bowl, mix wet ingredients. Then pour wet ingredient into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Grease your large pan with vegetable oil and bring to medium heat.
- Pour ⅓ cup of pancake batter. Fry on each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side or flip until you see many bubbles form all over the pancake. You can serve these with maple syrup or try my coconut icing below.
Optional Icing
- The night before refrigerate whole fat canned coconut milk at the back of the fridge so it's extra cold.
- Open the canned coconut milk. Scoop ½ cup of the white solidified part of the coconut milk (do not use the liquids). This is your coconut cream.
- In a large bowl, add coconut cream, icing sugar and blue food coloring. Beat everything together with an electric hand mixer until it's whipped. Serve with pancakes.
