Ingredients
Blueberry Compote - Makes 2 cups (480ml):
- 4 cups blueberries
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder
- 1 tablespoon filtered water
Matcha Oatmeal:
- 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds
- 1/4 cup (30g) hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons (8g) flaxmeal (ground flax seeds)
- 1/2 cup (70g) whole raw almonds, soaked for 8 to 12 hours
- 2 3/4 cups (660ml) filtered water
- 1 pitted date
- 1 tablespoon natural vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
Instructions
For the blueberry compote:
-
Combine the berries, orange juice, vanilla, and
salt in a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan, reduce
the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the berries have softened
and released their juice. -
Dissolve the arrowroot in the water in a small cup, then slowly drizzle into the simmering berries, stirring constantly. Once the compote has returned to a simmer and thickened, remove from the heat.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store the cooled compote in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
For the matcha oatmeal
-
Combine the oats and the chia, hemp, and flax seeds in a medium bowl; set aside.
-
Drain and rinse the almonds and transfer them to your blender container. Add the 2 ¾ cups (660 ml) filtered water, date, vanilla, matcha powder, cardamom, and salt and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds, until completely smooth.
-
Pour into the oat mixture. Stir well to combine and set aside for 25 to 30 minutes, until thick and creamy.
-
Serve topped with the blueberry compote, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The oatmeal will thicken further in the fridge.
