Matcha Overnight Oats (Printable)

Creamy oats soaked overnight with matcha, honey, chia seeds, and topped with fresh fruits and nuts.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (approximately 100 grams)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 milliliters)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120 grams)
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 such as almonds or pistachios

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniformly vibrant green.
02 - Add the rolled oats and chia seeds to the liquid mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
03 - Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquids and flavors.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats well and add a small amount of almond milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
05 - Divide the prepared oats evenly between two bowls or jars and garnish with optional toppings such as fresh berries, banana slices, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts.
06 - Enjoy immediately, served cold for a refreshing start to the day.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No morning cooking required, just grab from the fridge and eat.
  • The earthy matcha flavor feels fancy but tastes naturally sweet without being cloying.
  • It's packed with antioxidants and protein, so you'll actually stay full until lunch.
02 -
  • Matcha powder clumps easily when wet; whisk it hard and long enough that there are absolutely no grainy bits hiding at the bottom of your bowl.
  • Greek yogurt makes a real difference in creaminess—using regular yogurt or skipping it entirely will give you a thinner, grainier result that tastes less satisfying.
03 -
  • Make a double or triple batch and store jars in the fridge for grab-and-go breakfasts all week—they stay fresh for about four days.
  • If your matcha tastes bitter or grassy, you're either using ceremonial grade instead of culinary, or it's been sitting in your pantry too long; buy small amounts and store it in a cool, dark place.
