- 1 cup (240 ml) water (or coconut milk or dairy/alt of your choice)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) rolled oats
- 1 1/2 tsp matcha powder
- 1 tbsp coconut powder
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp 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 tsp of matcha powder until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of coconut powder, 1 tbsp of sesame seeds, and 1 tbsp 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.
