Matcha Overnight Oats (Printable)

Creamy matcha-infused oats that set overnight for an effortless breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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)

06 - ½ banana, sliced
07 - 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped almonds or pistachios
09 - Fresh berries

# How-To Steps:

01 - Whisk together the milk and matcha powder in a medium bowl or jar 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 all ingredients.
03 - Cover the mixture and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften properly.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. 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 -
  • You get that sophisticated matcha flavor without spending seven dollars at a coffee shop
  • Morning prep is literally zero because past you did all the work
02 -
  • Whisking the matcha thoroughly is nonnegotiable because finding bitter matcha clumps in your breakfast is not the wake-up call anyone wants
  • The oats continue soaking as they sit, so what seems perfect at night might need more milk by morning
03 -
  • Room temperature milk helps the matcha dissolve more easily than cold milk straight from the fridge
  • If your matcha tastes too bitter, increase the sweetener slightly or add a drop of vanilla extract
