Matcha Overnight Oats (Printable)

Vibrant, earthy matcha meets creamy oats in this effortless breakfast. Prep in minutes, enjoy overnight.

# 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

# 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 Hints:

01 -
  • Breakfast is literally waiting for you when you wake up, no cooking required
  • The matcha gives you this gentle, sustained energy instead of that jittersome coffee spike
02 -
  • Matcha powder absolutely must be whisked into liquid before adding anything else, or you'll never get the lumps out
  • The texture continues to thicken in the fridge, so don't worry if it seems slightly loose on night one
03 -
  • A small whisk or milk frother works better than a spoon for dissolving matcha completely
  • Let your oats sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating if you prefer not to eat cold breakfast
