Matcha Overnight Oats (Printable Version)

A vibrant breakfast featuring earthy matcha and wholesome oats, perfect for meal prep.

# 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)

→ Toppings

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

# Directions:

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 Advice:

01 -
  • Waking up to breakfast already made feels like winning the morning
  • The gentle caffeine from matcha gives steady energy without coffee jitters
02 -
  • Mix your protein powder before refrigerating or it will clump stubbornly
  • The chia seeds continue absorbing liquid overnight so err on the side of thinner consistency
03 -
  • Use a small whisk instead of a spoon for the smoothest matcha incorporation
  • Let your toppings sit at room temperature while the oats chill for contrast
