Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Mixture
- 3/4 tsp matcha powder (ceremonial grade for smoothest texture)
- 2 tbsp hot water (about 160-170°F)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional but recommended for extra protein and creaminess)
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (unsweetened oat milk recommended)
Toppings
- Fresh fruit for topping (fresh berries or sliced banana work well)
- Chopped nuts for topping (almonds or walnuts add nice crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and hot water until smooth and no lumps remain. Stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup to combine the flavors.
- Combine Oats and Chia Seeds: In a medium-sized container or jar, add the rolled oats and chia seeds (if using). Pour in the prepared matcha mixture and the non-dairy milk, stirring well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container with a lid or cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator and let it soak overnight, or for at least 6 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Add Toppings and Serve: In the morning, give the oat mixture a good stir. Add your favorite fresh fruit such as berries or sliced banana, and sprinkle with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
- Use ceremonial grade matcha powder for the best texture and flavor.
- Chia seeds are optional but add creaminess and nutritional benefits like extra protein and fiber.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
- This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
- Feel free to swap non-dairy milk with any milk of your choice for different flavors.
