Ingredients:

1. Rolled oats: 1 cup
2. Matcha green tea powder: 1-2 teaspoons (depending on your preference for matcha flavor)
3. Milk or a milk alternative (like almond, soy, or oat milk): 1 cup
4. Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt: 1/2 cup
5. Honey or maple syrup: 1-2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
6. Chia seeds: 1 tablespoon (optional for added texture and nutrition)
7. Vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon
8. Pinch of salt
9. Optional toppings: fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or a dollop of nut butter

Instructions:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl or a jar, combine the rolled oats, matcha powder, milk, yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure the matcha is evenly distributed and there are no lumps.
2. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and flavors, and become soft and creamy.
3. Stir and Adjust Consistency: In the morning, give your oats a good stir. If they’re too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Add Toppings: Top your matcha overnight oats with your choice of fruits, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or a dollop of nut butter.
5. Serve: Enjoy your Matcha Overnight Oats cold, straight from the refrigerator.
