Matcha pudding parfait is the perfect breakfast option for matcha lovers. It has a smooth rich pudding layer at the bottom with blueberries, granolas, and coconut yogurt on top.
Have a big parfait for breakfast. Does that sound too much? Definitely not if it’s loaded with healthy, energy boosting ingredients.
The pudding layer is made with matcha and oat milk, set perfectly with agar powder. Any type of sugar can be used as a sweetener, but something with a lighter color would work great to let the vibrant matcha color shine.
To have this for breakfast, you can make the pudding layer on the night before. Simply heat up the mixture in a saucepan, pour it into the cups and refrigerate.
In the morning, stack the layers of fresh blueberries, crunchy granolas, and creamy coconut yogurt over the pudding. Dust with more matcha powder and dive in!
