Matcha Oatmeal

This may not be the best way to open this post, but I’m not completely “won over” by matcha. I’m not even exactly sure what it is. ^_^ It’s a green tea powder with a very unique taste. You can find it in lattes (green tea latte), in candy, and in ice cream. My favorite is the last one.

I decided to buy some to try for my oatmeal. As I did my research, I learned that quality matters. Matcha powder can be pretty pricey, but don’t settle for a cheap one. Read the reviews before you buy; some can have an off-putting flavor.

Matcha powder also requires a small amount of sweetener. Just trust me on this one. As someone who has tried to endure it unsweetened multiple times….no. Just no.

Matcha Oatmeal

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Yield: serves 1

What you'll need:

  • 1 cup milk of choice (or water)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
  • 1/3 cup pureed or shredded zucchini or yellow squash*
  • 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • pinch of salt

How to make it:

  1. Bring milk (I used 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/2 cup water) to a boil, add oats, and reduce heat to medium. (If you’d like to add a teaspoon of flax or chia seeds, do so now.)
  2. Add pureed squash. Stir occasionally.
  3. Once more of the liquid has absorbed, add green tea powder, maple syrup, and salt. Stir.
  4. When you’re pleased with the consistency of the oatmeal, transfer to a bowl. Possible toppings: coconut, almonds, macadamia nuts, almond butter, berries.

Just an FYI:

*Squash is for texture and nutritional reasons. Feel free to omit.
