    Matcha Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds

    If you’re wondering what overnight oats are, they’re simply oats that you soak in milk overnight instead of cooking on the stove. They’re usually stored in mason jars or similar individual-sized containers.

    They’ve gained popularity in recent years because they’re so convenient, especially on busy mornings. Plus, you can customize them in a million and one ways!

    These matcha overnight oats are our favourite overnight oats recipe.

    The earthy flavour of matcha powder is balanced by the sweetness of honey or maple syrup. Sprinkle in white chocolate chips and you have yourself breakfast you can look forward to everyday.

    It’s so good and it keeps us full until lunch.

    Ingredients

    This recipe is fully customizable so each serving is the perfect one for you. The base ingredients you’ll need are:

    • Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
    • Matcha powder (make sure to buy high quality matcha powder)
    • Rolled oats (or old-fashioned oats)
    • Chia seeds
    • White chocolate chips
    • Salt
    • Greek yogurt
    • Vanilla extract
    • Honey or maple syrup

    Plus all your favourite toppings!

    Expert tips

    Matcha Overnight Oats with Chia and White Chocolate Chips

    It’s super easy to make matcha oatmeal but there are still a few things to keep in mind when making them:

    1. BUY GOOD MATCHA POWDER.  Make sure to buy high-quality matcha powder. They would sometimes be labelled as ceremonial grade or culinary grade. When it comes to green tea, you can really tell the difference, especially when making recipes like this and other desserts like matcha ice cream, matcha chocolate chip cookies or matcha brownies. I’m very practical but this is one of the ingredients I usually spring for. Here’s a great guide.

    2. USE THE RIGHT OATS. When making overnight oats, make sure to use rolled oats or old-fashioned oats. Instant oatmeal will be too mushy for this recipe.

    3. GET CREATIVE! Don’t be afraid to experiment with your matcha overnight oats. Add your favourite things, mix in your favourite flavours. Every jar can be jazzed up differently.

    4. MAKE AHEAD. Oatmeal in jars is an excellent way to save time in the morning. You can make a big batch and don’t need to worry about breakfast for the next few days. Remember to only make a batch that you can consume within the week though. For good measure, we like to consume ours within 3-4 days.

    Notes

    1. You can use dairy milk or any kind of unsweetened milk instead of almond milk. You can also use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
    2. The number of servings largely depends on the size of your individual containers. We use 250-ml/8-oz mason jars and get 5 jars that are about ¾ full out of this recipe.
    3. Alternatively, you can opt to refrigerate the whole batch of oats and just scoop what you need into a bowl. Just make sure to store the oats in an airtight container and return to the fridge.

      What a great way to start the day. I bought Matcha at a tea shop some time ago and really haven’t been inspired just to drink it. Now, this recipe is giving me a lot of inspiration to go ahead and jump start my day. The chocolate with the oats makes it more special Great recipe.
