Creamy overnight oats infused with vibrant matcha for a refreshing, ready-to-eat breakfast.
# Ingredient List:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
03 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
05 - 1 ¼ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
→ Toppings (optional)
06 - ½ banana, sliced
07 - 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped almonds or pistachios
09 - Fresh berries
# How to Make:
01 - In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the milk and matcha powder until smooth and no lumps remain.
02 - Add the oats, chia seeds, and honey (or maple syrup) to the matcha milk mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine.
03 - Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if a looser consistency is desired.
05 - Divide into bowls or jars. Top with banana slices, coconut flakes, nuts, and berries as desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The earthy matcha flavor wakes you up gently without the coffee jitters
- Five minutes of evening prep saves you from breakfast decisions during busy mornings
02 -
- Matcha can clump stubbornly, so whisk it into the milk before adding any other ingredients
- The oats will continue absorbing liquid overnight, so the mixture should look slightly loose when you first mix it
03 -
- Invest in a small whisk specifically for matcha to avoid cross-contamination with other flavors
- Mason jars with wide mouths make stirring much easier than narrow containers
