Organic Moringa Pancakes Recipe

This recipe makes about 8 medium pancakes (serves 4) and takes roughly 20 minutes start to finish.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp NIVA organic moringa powder
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1¼ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for the pan)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients. Whisk the flour, moringa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until the moringa is evenly distributed and no green streaks remain.
2. Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth.
3. Combine. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold gently just until combined. A few small lumps are fine — overmixing makes pancakes tough.
4. Rest the batter for 5 minutes while your pan heats up. This helps the baking powder activate for fluffier pancakes.
5. Heat a lightly greased nonstick pan over medium heat.
6. Cook about ¼ cup of batter per pancake for roughly 2 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges set.
7. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Tip: New to moringa’s flavour? Start with 1 tbsp and work up to 2 tbsp as you get used to it. Top with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a light dusting of moringa powder for a beautiful, vibrant finish.
