Cook With Matcha Powder Ⅰ- Matcha Green Tea Latte Oatmeal

Matcha is fun to drink, but it’s even more fun to cook with. The subtly sweet, slightly caffeinated green tea is a favorite of Instagrammers everywhere, and since it’s often sold in powder form, it’s practically begging to be added to all of your favorite baked goods, energy bars, and smoothies.

But it’s not just sweet things that this ingredient belongs in. It has an earthy flavor that makes it a great addition to dessert, and an even better companion to all sorts of different savory dishes. It adds an irresistible depth of flavor to everything from salad dressings, to homemade pastas, to fresh hummus—not to mention a gorgeous green hue that’s almost more fun to look at than it is to eat.

Winter was coming on again. As most of matcha drinks seem to be more suitable for summer, we’ll introduce you some next-level ways to cook with matcha in this winter.

 

Today, we’d like to bring you the Matcha Green Tea Latte Oatmeal.

Cook With Matcha Powder Ⅰ- Matcha Green Tea Latte Oatmeal-Xmgreatrise-Matcha

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup coconut milk (regular, light, or unsweetened)
  • 2 tea bags of matcha green tea or regular green tea bags
  • 1 tsp matcha powder (see instructions if you don’t have the powder)
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or raw sugar ( see notes for sugar free)
  • 1/2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil or naturally refined coconut oil
  • Pinch of Cinnamon
  • Pinch of Sea salt
  • Optional Mix in- 1/4 c unsweetened shredded coconut flakes or shavings
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey for non vegans.
  • Optional Topping – nuts, oats, coconut flakes, or sliced banana

 

 

Instructions:

  1. First heat your milk on stove or in a microwave safe dish. You want the milk to come to a low boil or simmer if on stovetop. Equivalent to about 70-90 seconds on medium high power if in microwave.
  2. Place tea bags in milk and let them steep for 3 minutes. Remove tea bags after 5 minutes or so. Whisk in your matcha powder. If you don’t have matcha powder, just use the matcha tea bags.
  3. Next prepare your oats according to directions, leave out 1/3 cup of the recommended water so that the oats are thicker. Cooking on the stovetop or microwave works. (See notes for how to cook oats on stove tops).
  4. When oats are halfway through cooking. Pour in 2/3 c green tea latte, reserving 1/3 cup for pouring on top once cooked.
  5. Finish cooking oats until they are creamy but still thick. Not runny.
  6. Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in your coconut sugar, dash of salt, cinnamon, and coconut oil.
  7. Mix all together.
  8. Mix in optional coconut shavings if desired. This makes about 4 cups.
  9. Spoon into bowls and pour additional matcha latte on top of each bowl. Drizzle honey or maple syrup.  Add toppings of choice.
