Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 teaspoons culinary grade matcha powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, agave, etc.)
- 1 cup yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Toppings
- Fresh fruit (berries, bananas, etc.)
- Nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.)
- Seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, etc.)
- Granola
- Optional: nut butter drizzle
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl or individual mason jars or airtight containers, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, matcha powder, pinch of salt, vanilla extract, maple syrup or sweetener of choice, yogurt, and milk. Layer ingredients if desired for visual appeal but it is optional.
- Mix Well: Use a spoon, whisk, or spatula to thoroughly mix all ingredients until the matcha powder is fully dissolved and no clumps remain. Ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed and oats are fully coated in the liquid mixture.
- Chill: Cover the bowl or jars tightly with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, soften, thicken, and the flavors to meld for a creamy texture.
- Top and Serve: Remove the oats from the refrigerator and give a gentle stir if layered. Add your choice of fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, granola, or drizzle with nut butter for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
- Use culinary grade matcha for the best flavor and smoothness.
- You can substitute the milk and yogurt with dairy or non-dairy options depending on dietary preferences.
- Adjust sweetness to taste with maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup.
- The oats will become creamier the longer they are refrigerated, ideal to prepare the night before.
- To save time in the morning, prepare multiple servings in mason jars for grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Customize toppings to your liking for added nutrition and flavor variety.
