Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture.
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy) Whole milk yields a richer result; oat or almond milk is lighter.
- 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder Culinary-grade matcha is best for mixing.
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.
- 1 pinch salt Balances the flavors.
Toppings
- sliced bananas, berries, nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes Add as desired for extra flavor and texture.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, matcha powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the sweetener dissolves.
- Pour the wet mixture into the oats and matcha mixture. Stir thoroughly until every oat is coated and the matcha is fully mixed in.
- Divide the mixture into jars or airtight containers.
- Cover the jars and place them in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
Serving
- In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
- Top with your choice of sliced bananas, fresh berries, chopped nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes.
Notes
Store prepared jars in the refrigerator for up to 3–5 days. Adjust sweetness and serve with crunchy toppings right before eating.
