This Matcha Overnight Oats recipe combines the earthy flavor of matcha green tea with wholesome rolled oats, chia seeds, and creamy plant-based milk and yogurt. Perfect for a quick, nutritious breakfast, these no-cook oats soak overnight to deliver a creamy, energizing start to your day with natural sweetness from maple syrup and a hint of vanilla.

Ingredients

Matcha Mixture

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon warm water

Oats Base

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ¾ cup oat milk or any plant-based milk
  • ¼ cup vegan yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Matcha: Whisk the matcha powder with warm water until it forms a smooth, lump-free paste. This step helps release the flavor and prevents clumping in the oats mixture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats and chia seeds. These provide texture and nutritional benefits, including fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Pour the matcha mixture, oat milk, vegan yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla into the dry ingredients. Whisk all components together until well combined and smooth.
  4. Portion the Oats: Transfer the mixture into jars or airtight containers for easy storage and individual servings.
  5. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jars and place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  6. Serve: In the morning, stir the oats and top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds before enjoying.

Notes

  • Warm the water slightly to better dissolve the matcha powder and avoid clumps.
  • You can substitute oat milk with any other plant-based milk like almond or soy milk according to preference.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on taste.
  • Overnight soaking time can be extended up to 24 hours for softer texture.
  • Vegan yogurt keeps the oats creamy and adds probiotics; choose plain to avoid extra sweetness.
  • Toppings like sliced bananas, berries, coconut flakes, or nuts complement the flavors well.
