Matcha Overnight Oats (Printable format)

Creamy oats infused with earthy matcha and natural sweeteners, topped with fresh fruits and nuts.

# List of ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (100 g)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (8 fl oz / 240 ml)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (4 fl oz / 120 g)
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

→ Flavor

05 - 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons culinary grade matcha powder
06 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings (optional)

08 - Fresh berries
09 - Sliced banana
10 - Toasted coconut flakes
11 - Chopped nuts (almonds or pistachios)

# How to make it:

01 - Whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, matcha powder, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl or jar until the mixture is smooth and evenly green.
02 - Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds until thoroughly combined.
03 - Cover and chill the mixture for at least 8 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats well; add a splash of milk if a thinner consistency is desired.
05 - Divide the oats between two bowls or jars and garnish with fresh berries, sliced banana, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts as preferred.
06 - Serve immediately while cold.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's genuinely ready when you are—no morning cooking required, just grab and go.
  • That creamy-dreamy texture from Greek yogurt is so much more satisfying than thin, watery overnight oats.
  • Matcha gives you actual sustained energy without the jittery crash of extra coffee.
  • You can make it on Sunday and eat it all week without getting bored by switching up toppings.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on whisking the matcha at the start—even a few undissolved specks will turn into gritty little bits that feel weird on your tongue.
  • If your oats look too thick the next morning, resist the urge to panic; a splash of milk transforms them instantly into creamy perfection.
  • Matcha oxidizes faster than you'd think, so keep your powder sealed tight and stored away from light, or it'll fade to a dull khaki color and lose that bright, grassy energy.
03 -
  • Use a jar with a tight-fitting lid instead of a bowl—it's easier to shake and stir in the morning, plus it doubles as your eating vessel if you're in a hurry.
  • If you like your oats thicker, reduce the milk by a quarter cup and add it gradually in the morning until you hit the texture you want.
  • Toast your own coconut flakes in a dry pan for just two minutes if you want them extra crispy and fragrant right before serving.
