Description
A simple, healthy breakfast recipe for matcha-flavored overnight oats that’s easy to prepare and packed with nutrients from oats, chia seeds, and green tea.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha green tea powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3/4 cup milk of your choice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sliced fruit or nuts for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a tiny splash of the milk to create a smooth paste without any clumps.
- In a mason jar, combine the oats and chia seeds.
- Add the matcha paste, the remaining milk, honey, and vanilla extract to the jar.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly or secure the lid and shake well until everything is incorporated.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight is preferred for the best texture.
- When ready to eat, top with fresh fruit or a handful of nuts for added crunch.
Notes
- Use dairy-free milk (like almond or oat milk) for a vegan version, but note that honey is not vegan—substitute with maple syrup.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the honey amount to taste.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days for meal prep.
