Matcha Overnight Oats (Printer View)

Creamy oats blended with matcha and sweetener, chilled overnight for a vibrant, antioxidant-packed morning boost.

# Components:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (approximately 3.5 oz)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (8 fl oz)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (4 oz)
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (0.5 oz)

→ Flavor

05 - 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons culinary-grade matcha powder
06 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (1.0 fl oz)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (0.08 fl oz)

→ Toppings (optional)

08 - Fresh berries
09 - Sliced banana
10 - Toasted coconut flakes
11 - Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios)

# Method steps:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly blended.
02 - Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds until thoroughly combined.
03 - Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and develop flavor.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats well, adding a splash of milk if a looser consistency is preferred.
05 - Divide the oats evenly between two bowls or jars and garnish with fresh berries, sliced banana, coconut flakes, or nuts as desired.
06 - Serve immediately while cold for optimal freshness.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get a breakfast that tastes like a treat but actually fuels you with antioxidants and protein.
  • Zero cooking required—just five minutes of stirring and eight hours of patience, which means one less thing to think about on hectic mornings.
  • It's naturally creamy without any weird additives, and the matcha color is so beautiful it makes you smile while eating.
02 -
  • Matcha can taste bitter if your water was too hot when it was originally prepared; culinary grade matcha is more forgiving, but don't skip the whisking step or you'll taste grittiness.
  • The oats will absorb liquid as they sit, so what seems perfectly creamy at night might be thick as porridge by morning—that splash of milk in step five isn't optional, it's essential.
03 -
  • If your matcha tastes chalky or bitter, you likely have ceremonial grade by accident—swap it out for culinary grade, which is specifically meant for blending into foods.
  • Make this in a wide-mouth mason jar so you can eat straight from the jar without needing a bowl; it cuts cleanup and feels a little more carefree.
