Matcha Cupcake Oatmeal
Easy Matcha Cupcake Oatmeal recipe. Tastes like dessert for breakfast, this treat keeps you full until lunch.
I know I should be making overnight oats during the summer. I am already hot and cranky when I wake up in the mornings. But there is something about a warm bowl of oatmeal that always cheers me up.
And this Matcha Cupcake Oatmeal definitely gets me going in the morning.
If you think that I have made this oatmeal before on my blog, you are mistaken.
I have made a Matcha Latte Oatmeal before, which was a lot healthier than this breakfast idea.
But I'm pregnant and uncomfortable and this oatmeal is exactly what I have been craving lately.
And it actually uses surprisingly few ingredients. All you need is:
- milk
- oats
- matcha powder
- chia seeds
- cream cheese
- butter
- powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
So really just my pantry essentials!
It's so much easier to make than an actual cupcake. Plus, this breakfast will keep you satisfied until it's time for lunch.
So who's with me? Let's make cupcake oatmeal a thing!
