Milk or a milk alternative (like almond, soy, or oat milk): 1 cup
Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt: 1/2 cup
Honey or maple syrup: 1-2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
Chia seeds: 1 tablespoon (optional for added texture and nutrition)
Vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or a dollop of nut butter
Instructions:
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.
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.
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.
Add Toppings: Top your matcha overnight oats with your choice of fruits, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or a dollop of nut butter.
Serve: Enjoy your Matcha Overnight Oats cold, straight from the refrigerator.
