Matcha Overnight Oats
Matcha Overnight Oats combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and oat or almond milk with earthy matcha powder and a little maple syrup, then rest in the fridge overnight. By morning the oats are thick and ready to eat straight from the jar — no cooking needed. The matcha adds a mild, grassy flavor along with a natural caffeine boost.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- mason jars or sealable containers
Ingredients
For Base:
- 1 cup rolled oats use organic, gluten-free oats for best texture and quality
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any preferred plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds organic, for added texture and Omega-3s
- 1 ½ teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha powder high-quality matcha for best taste and color
- 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup or sweeten to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure vanilla for aromatic depth
- 1 pinch sea salt enhances the matcha flavor
For Optional Toppings:
- ½ cup fresh strawberries sliced, for color and brightness
- 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes unsweetened, adds texture
- 1 teaspoon hemp seeds for protein and a nutty crunch
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk vigorously until the matcha is fully dissolved and the mixture is creamy green with no lumps.
- Add the rolled oats and chia seeds. Stir thoroughly until completely combined and the chia seeds are evenly dispersed.
- Transfer the mixture into two clean mason jars or sealable containers. Tap gently to settle and eliminate air bubbles.
- Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, stir the oats and top with fresh strawberries, toasted coconut flakes, and hemp seeds. Serve chilled or let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to take the chill off.
Notes
- For a thicker texture, reduce almond milk by 1/4 cup.
- If you prefer it sweeter, stir in extra maple syrup before serving.
- Add coconut yogurt on top for a probiotic boost and creamy layering effect.
- For a caffeine-free version, substitute matcha with a dash of turmeric or spirulina for color and nutrients.
