Ingredients

  

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups almond milk or any milk of your choice
• 1 tsp matcha powder
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey optional, for sweetness
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Fresh fruit e.g., berries, bananas for topping
• 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter optional
• A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

 

Cook the Oats

• In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, and a pinch of sea salt.
• Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are soft and creamy.

Add the Matcha and Chia Seeds

• Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Stir in the matcha powder, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
• Mix until everything is well combined and the matcha has dissolved into the oatmeal.

Let the Chia Seeds Soak

• Let the oatmeal sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some liquid and thicken the oatmeal slightly.

Serve and Top

• Divide the matcha oatmeal into bowls.
• Top with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas, a drizzle of almond butter or peanut butter, and an extra sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
