If you aren’t familiar with matcha tea, it is green tea in powdered form. You drink the whole tea leaf and that provides an extra boost in nutrition.
Some more matcha recipes to try are my Matcha Overnight Oats, Matcha Chia pudding or this tasty Matcha and Raspberry Loaf Cake.

Ingredients
This Matcha oatmeal recipe is super easy to make and requires just a few ingredients. See the list below.
For the full ingredient measurements, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.
- Quick cooking oats, this is smaller pieces so it cooked faster than regular oats. Perfect for a quick breakfast cooked in the microwave. Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats for gluten intolerance.
- Water
- Almond milk, my favourite to use in baking and breakfasts. You can use any kind os non dairy milk of your choice or regular milk for non vegan.
- Maple syrup, or other sweetener of choice can be used. Taste the oatmeal and add more if you like it on the sweeter side.
- Chia seeds, I love adding a little chia seeds in my oats, for texture and the added nutrients.
- Matcha powder, I like using good quality matcha power. It makes a big difference in taste and color. The lower quality ones doesn’t have the bright green colour and can often be bitter. A little matcha goes a long way and you get what you pay for!
- Vanilla, I use a vanilla bean powder, vanilla extract and vanilla paste can also be used.
- Salt, a little pinch of salt does all the difference when it comes to oatmeal
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Add the matcha powder to a microwave safe bowl. Add a little hot water and stir well until no more lumps remain.
- Add the remaining ingredients, stir well and cook on hight heat in the microwave for 3 minutes.
- Stir the oatmeal well and let it sit for a minute and then stir again. If you like creamier oats, add a little more almond milk.
- Serve warm and top with kiwi, banana, almonds, chia seeds or other berries if desired. Enjoy!
Hint: If you like a sweeter matcha oatmeal, drizzle a little maple syrup on top. Crunchy granola like this Air Fryer Granola is another great topping.
Another delicious and easy to make oatmeal recipe is this Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal that comes together in just minutes as well.
Substitutions and Variations
- Gluten-free – Oats are naturally gluten-free, but can contain traces of gluten. To ensure this matcha latte oatmeal recipe is gluten-free, only use certified gluten-free oats.
- Extra protein– Mix in 1 tablespoon of vanilla protein powder, you might have to add a little bit more milk.
- Toppings – Fresh fruit and berries tastes great. Try some banana and berries, or homemade Strawberry Chia Jam.
- Vegan – To keep this oatmeal recipe vegan, make sure to use a plant-based milk and maple syrup.
This Healthy Salted Caramel Granola also tastes great for a crunchy topping.
Storage
This recipe makes just one portion and that comes together really quick and easy. But if you have leftovers, you can store them in and airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
The longer oats sit, the more liquid they will soak up. You will need to add some extra milk or water.
To re-heat, add the matcha oatmeal to a microwave safe bowl, stir in a little milk or water and heat in 30 sec intervals until piping hot.
I don’t recommend freezing oatmeal.
