Scale
- 1 cup water (or coconut milk or dairy/alt of your choice)
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water (or coconut milk) to a boil over medium heat.
- Add 1/4 cup rolled oats to the boiling liquid. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of matcha powder until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coconut powder, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the top.
- Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of the earthy matcha with the sweetness of the coconut and brown sugar.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use coconut milk instead of water. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar to taste. Store any leftover matcha powder in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated with a splash of milk.
