Hear me out: a toast with butter that melts just enough to glisten is one of the most simple yet comforting meals I can have. Takes me right back to my childhood (life was so good back then, huh?). And as the matcha obsessed girly I am, combining that with matcha? Sounds like something that would get me out of bed every morning. Breakfast heaven. Take that and add it to the fact that it’s super easy to make. And totally delicious, because life is too short for boring breakfasts.
That’s what we’re doing today: we’re making a matcha butter and jam toast that might sound simple, but is giving main character breakfast. The perfect mix of cozy and cool, aesthetic and effortless. Let’s go.
what you’ll need
Easiest breakfast recipe you’ll find, you only need 4 ingredients:
-
Your favorite bread (sourdough or brioche are perfect, imo)
-
2 tbsp softened butter
-
1 tsp Matcha DNA matcha powder
-
Your favorite jam (strawberry, raspberry, or fig go so well with the earthy taste of matcha)
how to make it
It’s honestly self-explanatory, but here’s what I did:
-
Soften the butter: Let it sit at room temperature until spreadable (but not melted).
-
Sift and mix: In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder (crucial to avoid any lumps), and then stir it into the butter until smooth and evenly green. You can use a small whisk or spoon, whatever you feel will make it creamy and easy to spread.
-
Toast your bread: Go for golden edges and a soft center. It’s all about that crunch-meets-melt moment.
-
Spread the love: Go alternating your matcha butter with your chosen jam over the toast. Now I suggest using a small spoon for this, because it’ll make it look super cute and aesthetic, but you can go full Picasso here: half-and-half, swirl them, or create an ombré effect if you’re feeling fancy.

Snap a pic and enjoy: That’s literally it! It looks so good, you have to take a pic of it to flex with your friends on socials. Because this toast isn’t just breakfast, it’s a whole vibe.
💡 Pro tip: you can make a small batch of matcha butter in advance and store it in the fridge for up to a week. It’s perfect for lazy mornings or a 10 p.m. snack when you need something sweet but still a little sophisticated.
remix your matcha butter toast
Now that you’ve nailed the basics, here’s where it gets fun. Honestly, just go on TikTok and search “matcha butter toast”, and you’ll see there are hundreds of ways you can make this. Think of it as a base, the perfect canvas for your creative combinations.
Here’s some inspo in case you need it:
-
Caramelized banana + honey: for a warm, dessert-like version that tastes like comfort
-
Strawberries + pistachios: the colors are pure serotonin (and the crunch? Unbeatable)
-
Sea salt + honey drizzle: that salty-sweet combo? Surprisingly so good
-
Blueberry jam + chia seeds: a fresh, antioxidant-packed twist
-
Mango + shredded coconut: a tropical twist that is perfect if you’re feeling summery
Once you’ve fallen for the flavor, try using matcha butter on pancakes, waffles, or even in oatmeal. It’ll give you a subtle energy boost, but most importantly, will make your breakfasts taste 100% better.
now it’s your turn!
Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest ones, and this recipe proves it. A bit of matcha, some butter, and your favorite jam can turn the most ordinary morning (but hey, hella comforting meal anyway) into something worth waking up for. And the best part? You can try different combinations until you find the one that works best for you.
