Matcha Overnight Oats
These Matcha Overnight Oats are cool, creamy, naturally energizing, and packed with good-for-you ingredients. They taste like a matcha latte and come together in just a few minutes (the fridge does the rest!)—perfect for meal prep or a quick, nourishing, and convenient meal to start your day.
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ teaspoons culinary grade matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder optional
- 1 heaping ½ cup old-fashioned oats or instant oats
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch salt
- Toppings berries, bananas, chocolate chips, hemp seeds, etc.
Instructions
- Add the milk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, matcha, and protein powder (if using) to a blender, blending cup, or Mason jar. Blend with a high-speed blender, immersion blender, or milk frother until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a glass cup or Mason jar if it's not already in one.
- Add the oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight if using old-fashioned oats or 2-3 hours if using instant oats.
- Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Storage Directions
- Refrigerating: Once prepared, the oats can be kept in a covered, airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: The oats can also be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Defrost them in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying.
- Blend the matcha base. Using a blender, immersion blender, or milk frother to blend the matcha with the milk and yogurt helps fully dissolve the green tea powder (which can clump easily) and combines the milk and yogurt, giving the oats a super silky texture.
- Adjust the matcha to your taste. If you're new to matcha or prefer a milder flavor, blend in 1 teaspoon and work up from there.
- Soak until fully hydrated. For the best consistency, refrigerate old-fashioned oats overnight or at least 6–8 hours. Quick oats need to soak for only 2-3 hours.
- Prep multiple at once. These oats are great for meal prep (just grab a jar and go!). Multiply the ingredients by the desired amount, blend the liquids and matcha in a blender, stir in the dry ingredients, and divide between jars for filling, no-stress breakfasts all week.
