Ingredients:
– 1 can (400 ml/13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk (not light or ultra-filtered)
– 2 tbsp matcha powder
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1 tsp ginger powder
– 1/2 cup rolled oats (whole or steel-cut)
– 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
– 1/4 cup maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
– 1/2 ripe medium-sized banana, sliced
– 1/2 avocado, sliced or cubed
– Optional: sprinkles, edible flowers, fresh fruit, etc.
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, matcha powder, cinnamon, and ginger until well combined. Set aside.
2. Place the oats, shredded coconut, and 1/4 cup of water into a separate bowl. Stir well to combine.
3. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of water into another bowl.
4. Divide the oat mixture evenly between two individual serving bowls. Add enough water to each bowl so that the oats are just barely covered. Cover each bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Let sit for 2 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, divide the chia seed gel into four equal portions. Mix one portion of the chia gel with the matcha mixture from step 1 and set aside.
6. Scoop out about 1/2 cup of cooked oat mixture and layer it at the bottom of each serving glass. Top with a few slices of banana, a few pieces of avocado, and a drizzle of the matcha-chia gel mixture. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds if desired.
7. Repeat layers twice more, ending with a layer of cooked oat mixture. Cover each glass tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
Serving suggestions: Garnish with additional matcha powder, edible flowers, or sprinkles as desired. Enjoy immediately after assembling or allow to chill for up to 2 days.
