Matcha Cream Tart With Oatmeal Crust

I’m a true fan of matcha green tea powder! And not only because it’s packed with antioxidants and some other valuable nutrients, but it tastes absolutely divinely in so many different recipes.

This particular combination is somewhat different than your usual tart recipes – it’s based on healthy and vegan-friendly ingredients without highly processed foods we’re all unfortunately used to.  

Both, the crust and the filling are sweetened with pure maple syrup with an exotic coconut twist that makes this dessert truly special. And the best part? You really don’t need to feel guilty having two or even three slices of this fantastic cream tart – it’s healthy, delicious, and based on the ingredients that won’t jeopardize your weight goals. That’s exactly what a dessert should look like, don’t you think?

 

 

The crust of this lovely matcha cream tart is based on good old-fashioned rolled oats, some almonds, whole wheat flour, and cocoa powder for a bit of chocolaty taste. Add some coconut oil and maple syrup to hold things together and you’re good to go. However, if you’re not a huge fan of coconut (it does taste specific, I agree), you can replace it with almond butter, peanut butter, or even a regular butter.

When it comes to filling, a combination of cashews, cocoa butter, coconut cream, and maple syrup with a gentle touch of matcha green tea powder will result in a perfectly smooth and wonderfully creamy filling everybody will love!

Have fun baking and enjoy!
