Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Matcha powder
- 1 cup Strawberry puree (fresh or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 4 pieces Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings
- 1 drop Green food coloring
- 1 drop Red food coloring
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk over medium heat.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of matcha powder to give the oatmeal its green hue. Add a single drop of green food coloring for a more vibrant appearance if desired.
Cook the oatmeal for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
While the oatmeal is cooking, warm the strawberry puree in a small microwave-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds. Stir in 1 drop of red food coloring to amplify the Valentine-themed red hue.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, divide it evenly between two bowls.
Pour the warmed strawberry puree over one half of each bowl, creating a striking red and green contrast.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup over each bowl for a touch of sweetness.
Sprinkle chia seeds and dark chocolate shavings on top for added texture and flavor.
Garnish each bowl with fresh strawberry slices, arranging them in a heart shape for a Valentine’s Day touch.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your colorful, love-filled breakfast!
