Matcha Overnight Oats
Start your day with these Matcha Overnight Oats! An energizing mix of matcha, oats, milk, and chia seeds transforms into the perfect make-ahead breakfast. Vegan, Gluten-Free Option.
Servings 3 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups creamy non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons grade A maple syrup plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 2 cups quick-cooking or rolled oats* gluten-free if necessary
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or sub ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened dairy-free yogurt (or sub with more milk)
- Topping suggestions: fresh or frozen fruit nut butter, coconut, etc.
Instructions
- Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and matcha to a blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, until the matcha is fully incorporated and has no clumps.
- Dry Ingredients: Add the oats and chia seeds to a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Combine: Pour the matcha milk over the dry ingredients and add the yogurt; mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir in again to fully incorporate the mixture. Let sit for another 5 minutes, to thicken. If you’d like to mix in any chopped fruit or other add-ins to your oats, do so here.
- Store & Serve: Transfer the oatmeal to jars or other containers, then store in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Top as desired and enjoy cold or warm; leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Blender Substitutes: If you have an immersion blender, you can place all of the wet ingredients in a large jar or bowl and blend them together. Or, use a matcha whisk or milk frother to blend the matcha with only 1/2 cup of milk, until smooth and creamy. Add it to the dry ingredients in step 3 with the remaining wet ingredients (milk, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and yogurt)
- Non-dairy Milk: I recommend using a thick and creamy milk, like cashew, oat, or soy milk.
- Oats: I like to use a 50-50 mix of instant oats and rolled oats for a creamy and hearty texture! Instant oats will make the oatmeal more creamy, while rolled oats add more of a chew.
