Matcha Overnight Oats (Printable)

Earthy matcha meets creamy oats for a vibrant make-ahead breakfast

# What You 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 (optional)

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

# How To Make It:

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 Suggestions:

01 -
  • You'll feel like you're treating yourself to something fancy when it takes literally five minutes the night before
  • The energy boost from matcha is so much smoother than coffee jitters plus the fiber keeps you full until lunch
02 -
  • Matcha clumps are basically unavoidable if you just dump it in, so take those extra seconds to whisk it properly first
  • The texture gets better the longer it sits, so these actually keep for three days in the refrigerator if you want to meal prep
03 -
  • If your matcha tastes bitter, it's probably old or low quality, and nothing can save that
  • Mason jars look cute on Instagram but any container with a tight lid works perfectly fine
