Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal (can be gluten free if needed)
- 1 teaspoon Matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Dash of vanilla extract
- Dash of cinnamon
Liquid
- 3/4 – 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (depending on desired thickness)
Optional Toppings
- Granola
- Yogurt of choice
- Fruit such as sliced strawberries or banana
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, add the oats, matcha powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a dash of vanilla extract. Mixing the powders with the oats first helps distribute flavors evenly.
- Add the milk: Pour in 3/4 to 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk depending on how thick you want your oats to be. Stir or shake the container vigorously to ensure the matcha powder does not clump and everything is well mixed.
- Refrigerate to soak: Seal the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours. During this time, the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid, resulting in a creamy, thick texture.
- Stir and serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine. If the texture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it. Top with your favorite granola, a spoonful of yogurt, and fresh fruit like sliced strawberries or banana for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Store overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
- The thickness can be adjusted by varying the milk quantity.
- Matcha powder can clump, so thorough stirring is important.
- Use gluten-free oats if required for dietary needs.
