Oats and a matcha latte make a wonderful breakfast pairing, but this recipe goes one step further to combine them into matcha overnight oats, an effortless breakfast that will delight lovers of efficiency and morning matcha. For vibrantly colored oats and a strong matcha flavor, whisk the oat mixture with a full teaspoon of matcha powder, but feel free to decrease that amount for a more delicate flavor or lower caffeine level. Refrigerate the oat base at least 3 hours to thicken (or overnight), then adjust the desired thickness to taste, adding more milk to thin as desired. To serve, top with thick, creamy Greek yogurt and vibrant fruits of choice, like raspberries, mangoes and blueberries.

I love (good quality) matcha for the flavor, health benefits, l-theanine boost, and gentler but potent caffeine effects. I also love the convenience of overnight oats as well as its health benefits, but I get put off by the mushiness and blandness. The matcha addition makes it much more rich and flavorful. I add blueberries, use plain Greek yogurt, and add less maple syrup. Very easy to put together the day before work. Don’t knock it til you try it!

Couldn’t be easier and more adaptable. I scaled down the quantities for a single serving, forgot to add vanilla and sweetener. I added half a banana and vanilla yogurt in the morning. Perfect and just the right portion for me. A tasty way to get a little morning buzz.

@KR heat them then eat them.

This was too liquid-y as written. Will reduce milk next time.

I would reduce the amount of maple syrup and increase the amount of rolled oats by 1.25-1.5x.

This is a very clever superfood recipe. It gave me the idea to add matcha to freshly cooked warm oats too.
