Ingredients
Base Oats:
-
½ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
-
1 tsp high-quality matcha powder
-
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, but recommended)
-
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (or date syrup, agave, etc.)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
¾ cup milk of your choice (dairy, oat, almond, coconut)
-
2 tbsp yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
Toppings (Optional):
-
Fresh fruit (banana, berries, mango, etc.)
-
Nuts or granola for crunch
-
Coconut flakes or almond butter
-
Extra dusting of matcha
Instructions
Step 1: Whisk the Matcha
-
Pour 2 tbsp milk into a jar or bowl.
-
Add matcha powder and whisk until smooth, no lumps.
Tip: Dissolving matcha first prevents bitterness and clumps.
Step 2: Build the Base
-
Add the remaining milk, oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and yogurt (if using).
-
Stir or secure lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to combine.
Step 3: Chill
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The oats soften, and chia seeds swell for creamy texture.
Step 4: Serve
-
Stir well before eating. Adjust consistency with a splash of milk if needed.
-
Top with fruit, nuts, coconut, or nut butter.
-
Eat straight from the jar for grab-and-go, or in a bowl for a beautiful presentation.
