Love all things matcha? Try this Coconut Matcha Oatmeal Latte! You get your caffeine and hearty breakfast all in one bowl! Vegan + Gluten-free!
I feel like I’m always the last person to hop on board with the coolest trends. Do you remember skinny jeans? I refused to wear them until everyone and their mother started wearing them.
Did you ever try avocado toast? It literally took me soooo long to try it out after swooning all over it on Instagram. I could go on for days, but I think you get the point that I procrastinate to try new things. I swear that one thing I’ll never get into is Pokemon go.😝

I became aware of matcha because everyone on social media raves all about it, but I still wasn’t convinced enough to try it. I thought “it’s just another kind of tea, right?
No thanks, I’ll stick with my coffee.” But like most things, matcha has grown on me. After Mind My Matcha send me some to try, I was hooked right away.
Matcha isn’t just another tea, it’s like the Simone Biles of teas. For those who have no clue what I’m talking about, Matcha is a special type of green tea grown in Japan and made from the full leaf.
One serving of matcha tea is the nutritional equivalent of 10 cups of green tea. Woah!
If you think Matcha is something that would float your boat, you have to get the high-quality grade stuff from Mind My Matcha (Psssst You can use the coupon code AA20 for 20% off!).
Their matcha is organically grown from the Nishio region of Japan and contains no fillers or additives. <<<<<< My kind of company👌
The first time I tried matcha was in a latte, and I fell in love. Being the oatmeal loving person I am, I thought it was a great idea to make a matcha oatmeal latte because oatmeal is BAE.
I also happened to realize that matcha goes incredibly well with coconut and dark chocolate, so naturally I added them to the mix and oh my gosh, this oatmeal is heavenly!
You think matcha lattes are good? Try adding oatmeal. You get your caffeine and nutritional boost and hearty breakfast in one! SCORE.

Question of the day:
Did you ever try matcha? If so, what’s your favorite way to eat/drink it?
Trends aren’t my things either 😉 Still no avocado toast…or any “toast” for that matter!
But I have of course had matcha, but really only when I want to make something special for the blog! Not a everyday ingredient for me!
Matcha lattes are good. With oatmeal sounds much better. With CHOCOLATE chunks sounds infinitely amazing!!! Matcha is one food trend I am more than happy to join in too 🙂
This is totally my new way to have matcha! it’s sooooo good with chocolate and coconut 🙂
Yes me too, I love it when it’s in food’s that are unexpected like this oatmeal 🙂
OMG I am the SAME way with trends! I’m always the last to try (even if I do try something). I like to think I’m a classic gal – haha! But this looks so amaze! Any kind of oatmeal is it in my book!
Yesss I love matcha so much, and lattes are usually my matcha-consuming method of choice 🙂 making matcha latte oatmeal is heaven though. Must try this!
omg how have i not made this yet! i love matcha and adding oatmeal to it would be BOMBBBB. also – with chocolate? yes plzzz
What a delicious twist on oatmeal! I’m obsessed with matcha but have only had it in drinks– time to put it in EVERYTHING!
I’m all over this bowl of green oatmeal; I can’t eat lots or tons of greens all at once, but I love to have some greens along with breakfast or in breakfast. 🙂 And I’m kind of eyeing some matcha for the grocery list next month.
I can’t believe I haven’t boarded the matcha train yet! I’ve seen so many amazing matcha recipes floating about and I think after seeing this one, I’m finally ready to get on board!
Yay hope you try it 🙂
Yes Em you should totally try it 🙂
Thank you! I LOVE it in oatmeal 🙂
Matcha plus chocolate and coconut in oatmeal is INSAME! Thank you <3
Thank you Allie! Oatmeal is the best breakfast ever!
Thank you Rachel, it totally is heaven in your mouth 🙂
I’ve never tried macha in oatmeal – what a great idea!
Never tried matcha. But I’m totally up for trying it sometime!
As for trends. I’m way way behind even you Bethany, I’ve only just started wearing skinny jeans! 😆
Lynne keeps up with the trends though, with her avocado toast. And I’m afraid she’s even in to Pokemon Go. Drives me nuts with it!
It’s a really awesome new superfood! Hahah skinny jeans are a classic and avocado toast is a gem 🙂
thank you! It’s so tasty!
give me all the matcha!! I have been putting a teaspoon or so into my smoothies everyday now and just love that subtle matcha flavor it gives. So dang good!! Those chocolate chunks are making my mouth water too….
This sounds so good right now! Love all the chocolate in there 🙂
This looks so pretty, love the green matcha contrasting with the chocolate 🙂 Found your post through the Bloggers Pit Stop.
HI Bethany & Rachel,
All I can say is Yum! Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & tweeted!
Was intrigued by Matcha – I had never heard Of it. Sounds good.
Tea!!! I also love both but I couldn’t live without tea. I try to stay away from caffeine so that makes my options slightly more limited, and tea has so many more choices for decaf than coffee does (I also prefer iced coffee over hot). Teavana teas are my favorite. I love anything fruity, decaf green tea, and lemon black tea. There are very few teas that I dislike other than chai!
