Matcha Overnight Oats (Printable)

A creamy, vibrant breakfast featuring earthy matcha and wholesome oats, perfect for a refreshing start to your day.

# 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

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

# Steps:

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 -
  • Breakfast practically makes itself while you sleep, leaving you with those precious extra morning minutes
  • The energy boost is steady and gentle, no coffee jitters or mid-morning crashes
02 -
  • That green powder can clump up stubbornly, so take your time whisking or you'll end up with bitter little surprises in your spoon
  • The oats continue absorbing liquid overnight, so what looks too liquid at bedtime will be perfectly thick by morning
03 -
  • Sift your matcha powder directly into the milk to prevent those stubborn clumps that never seem to dissolve
  • Toast your coconut flakes and nuts in a dry pan for two minutes, because that little bit of warmth makes everything taste more intentional
