In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha green tea powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.v
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
Serve your Matcha Green Tea Pancakes with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
