Matcha Overnight Oats (Printable)

Creamy oats infused with matcha and honey, chilled overnight for a vibrant morning boost.

# Ingredient List:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats (about 3.5 oz)
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (8 fl oz)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (4 fl oz)
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

# Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), matcha powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniformly green.
02 - Add rolled oats and chia seeds to the mixture, stirring until fully combined.
03 - Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours to allow oats to absorb liquids and flavors.
04 - Stir the oats thoroughly; add a splash of milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
05 - Divide the mixture evenly between two bowls or jars, and garnish with fresh berries, sliced banana, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts as desired.
06 - Enjoy the prepared oats cold, directly from the refrigerator.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but delivers serious antioxidants and protein without any guilt.
  • The earthy matcha flavor pairs unexpectedly well with creamy yogurt and honey, creating something you'll actually crave on busy mornings.
  • You make it once and it waits for you in the fridge, which means no morning scrambling.
02 -
  • The matcha will sink and separate if you don't whisk it into the wet ingredients first—always dissolve it in liquid before adding the dry oats or you'll bite into gritty pockets of powder.
  • Overnight oats taste better the next morning than they do immediately after assembly, but they start losing appeal after day two in the fridge, so make only what you'll eat within twenty-four hours.
03 -
  • Weigh your matcha powder instead of spooning it—culinary matcha can get compacted in the tin, and a spoon can give you wildly different amounts each time, which throws off the flavor balance.
  • If you love this but want extra richness, use full-fat Greek yogurt or replace half the almond milk with coconut milk and you'll get a creamier, almost pudding-like texture.
