There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of oats in the morning. What could possibly make it better? The answer is matcha. Matcha makes it better.
Matcha oatmeal is my new favorite breakfast, a long with my vegan matcha mango smoothie. Depending on whether I’m feeling like a warm or cold breakfast, sometimes oats are the way to go and other times smoothies are. Either way, matcha is such a great addition to breakfast recipes.
Lately, I’ve been super inspired by Veggiekins, a vegan food blogger who posts a TON about matcha. If you’re a beginner matcha lover, I highly recommend checking out her post about making matcha at home.

Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 and ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

- Optional toppings: 1 teaspoon chia seeds + 1 teaspoon hemp seeds
Instructions
- In a small frying pan, heat oats over medium heat for about 30 minutes.

Notes
I'm not an expert on matcha powder. I used a matcha powder I bought from Whole Foods. If you want to know more about matcha and the different choices there are out there, check out this post from Veggiekins.
