Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup coconut milk (regular, light, or unsweetened)
- 2 tea bags matcha green tea or regular green tea bags
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (see instructions for substitute)
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar, raw sugar or monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 Tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil or naturally refined coconut oil
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- Optional Mix-in – 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes or shavings
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- Optional Topping – nuts, oats, coconut flakes or sliced banana
Instructions
- Heat the milk on the stove or in a microwave-safe dish until it comes to a low boil or simmer on the stove or about 70 to 90 seconds on medium-high power in the microwave.
- Place tea bags in the milk and let them steep for 3 minutes. Remove the tea bags and whisk in the matcha powder or omit, if desired.
- Prepare the oats according to the directions, leaving out 1/3 cup of the recommended water so the oats are thicker. (See notes) When oats are halfway done cooking, pour in 2/3 cup green tea latte, reserving 1/3 cup for pouring on top once cooked.
- Finish cooking the oats until they are creamy but still thick and not runny.
- Once cooked, remove from the heat and stir in the coconut sugar, coconut oil, cinnamon, salt, and optional coconut shavings.
- Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and pour additional matcha latte on top of each bowl. Drizzle with maple syrup and optional toppings of choice.
Notes
Cooking Tips – To cook oats on the stove top, combine 1 1/2 cups oats and 2 cups water in a pot over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Once the oats begin to soften and the liquid thickens, add the matcha tea latte combo. Simmer and stir until the oats reach the desired texture and consistency. Spoon into bowls and add toppings.
