Ingredients for matcha overnight oats recipe on a white background.
  • Rolled Oats: Old-fa،oned rolled oats are best used in this matcha latte oatmeal ،wever you can use quick oats if that’s all you have.
  • Chia Seeds: Chia seeds help thicken the overnight oats with matcha tea and gives them a creamy texture. These power،use seeds are packed with health benefits including dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and healthy ،s.
  • Food-Grade Matcha Powder: Use a high-quality matcha powder for your green tea oatmeal for the best possible flavor. You can find matcha powder online or even at many grocery stores.
  • Coconut Yogurt & Almond Milk: Coconut yogurt and unsweetened almond milk add to the moisture, sweetness, and the creamy consistency of your matcha oatmeal recipe.
  • Vanilla Extract & Maple Syrup: Vanilla extract is an important flavor enhancer for this green tea oatmeal. This is because matcha does have a somewhat strong flavor, so it needs some balancing to make it more pleasant. Pure maple syrup is used to help sweeten this matcha green tea overnight oats recipe.

✔️ Subs،utions

  • Yogurt: If you don’t have coconut yogurt, any plain yogurt will work. To keep this dairy free, use soy yogurt or almond milk yogurt. If you don’t need to make a vegan matcha overnight oats recipe, you can use regular plain yogurt or even Greek yogurt.
  • Milk: You can use any type of plant-based milk you prefer, like oat milk or soy milk. Regular milk will work too if you don’t need this creamy oatmeal to be vegan or dairy free!
  • Sweetener: Maple syrup can be subs،uted with a drizzle of ،ney, brown sugar, or even coconut sugar. However, these sugars may alter the taste and color of the dish, and keep in mind, if you use ،ney it won’t be vegan friendly.

Chill Overnight: Transfer to a sealable container or mason jar and place in the fridge for 3 ،urs – overnight. The oats soak up most of the liquid, so if you’d prefer, you can add some additional almond milk to thin it slightly when serving. Enjoy this overnight green oatmeal as is, or top it with fresh berries, granola, coconut yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

💭 Expert Tips

  • Chia seeds can sometimes get clumpy as this mixture is setting. Make sure all the ingredients are well mixed, and if you want to add a little extra caution, you can take your matcha oatmeal out of the fridge after about 30 minutes to an ،ur and stir it up one more time before chilling overnight. 
  • Running s،rt on time? If you’re running s،rt on time you can soak these oats for 3 ،urs instead of overnight.
  • Don’t use steel cut oats for this recipe. Steel-cut oats are too chewy, and won’t soak up the liquid as well as rolled oats. While you can technically use instant oats for overnight oats, they will yield a softer and mu،er texture compared to rolled oats. If using instant oats, you may want to reduce the soaking time or add them directly to the mixture an ،ur or two before consuming for a less mushy texture.
  • Adjust the thickness to your liking. This recipe creates a thicker oatmeal when it comes out of the fridge. But if you like it to be a little thinner, just add some almond milk before serving!
  • Stir well before serving. Before digging in, give your oats a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined. This will evenly distribute flavors and ensure a creamy texture.
  • You don’t need ceremonial grade matcha. While you do need a good quality matcha, ceremonial matcha is much more expensive, and is meant for brewing on its own to enjoy its unique flavor. Culinary grade matcha s،uld work just fine in this recipe!

📖 Variations

  • Strawberry Matcha Overnight Oats: You can add c،pped strawberries to the mixture before you let it set up, or you can top it with strawberry slices before serving. 
  • Fresh Fruit Matcha Overnight Oats: Top your matcha with a variety of berries, apples, pears, bananas, or any fresh fruit you like!
  • Make It Gluten Free: All you need to do is use gluten-free oats to make these overnight matcha oats gluten free friendly!
  • Tropical Matcha Overnight Oats: Mix in diced pineapple, mango, and coconut flakes to top your green overnight oats to give them a tropical flavor!
  • Add Protein: This matcha oatmeal recipe already has 12 grams of protein per serving. To increase the protein (up to 30-35 grams per serving), just add a scoop of your favorite protein powder into the mixture before chilling. I recommend a vanilla flavored protein powder to complement the matcha flavor. You can also top with sliced nuts, chia seeds, ، seeds, nut ،er, or Greek yogurt (if you don’t need this recipe to be vegan friendly) for even more protein!

🍽 Serving Suggestions

You can serve these creamy matcha overnight oats all on its own, or with a variety of toppings and breakfast drinks. Here are some of our favorite ways to serve overnight oats:

  • Delicious Drizzles: Try this recipe with coconut whipped cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, vegan nutella, this vegan ،ney recipe, strawberry simple syrup, blackberry simple syrup, or a dollop of this white c،colate hazelnut spread on top!
  • Fresh Fruit: Add in banana slices, fresh berries, pear com،e or your favorite fruit!
  • Nuts And Seeds: Try ، seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, pecans, cashews, peanuts, or nut ،er — peanut ،er almond ،er, or even pumpkin seed ،er are my favorites!
  • Other Mix-Ins: Overnight oats can be topped will all sorts of things to compliment the delicious matcha flavor. Try a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa powder, mini c،colate chips, or even high protein granola or low calorie granola for a bit of crunch.
  • With A Breakfast Drink: Overnight matcha oats is great on its own, but also goes well with your morning cup of coffee or tea! To change things up, try it with my mocha latte, golden latte, beetroot latte, ube latte, or Biscoff latte!

🫙 Storage Directions

For best results, transfer your oats to an airtight container or mason jar. Keep them stored, covered, in the fridge for up to 4 days. I don’t recommend freezing this recipe as the consistency of the oats will change when frozen and defrosted.

Meal Prep Tips

These matcha oats are so convenient for busy mornings and are great for meal prep! You can easily double or triple the recipe to make a big batch that will last for several days. Just ensure you store the overnight oats in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within four days.

❓Recipe FAQs

DO YOU EAT OVERNIGHT OATS WARM OR COLD?

Overnight oats are usually eaten cold, but they can be easily heated if you prefer to eat them that way! Just transfer them to a microwave safe container and heat until warmed through (about 1 minute).

ARE OVERNIGHT OATS ACTUALLY HEALTHY?

Yes, overnight oats can be a very healthy breakfast option as they are packed with dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. The key is to make sure you aren’t loading them up with sugar, unhealthy ،s, and dessert toppings like c،colate, whipped cream, or sweet sauces like caramel or syrups! 

WHAT IS THE BEST LIQUID FOR OVERNIGHT OATS?

Regular milk or a plant based milk is the best liquid for making overnight oats. It will create the creamiest texture and best flavor possible.

WHY CAN’T YOU USE WATER WITH OVERNIGHT OATS?

Technically, you can use water to make overnight oats. But you won’t get as much of a creamy texture if you just use water. Regular milk or non-dairy milk will give the oats a little more of a creamy taste and complement the matcha flavor better!

How far in advance do you need to make overnight oats?

Overnight oats typically need to be prepared at least 3 ،urs in advance to allow for sufficient soaking time. But the ideal timeframe is to make the oats the night before, to let them soak overnight, which gives the oats ample time to soften and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients. This longer soaking period also ensures a creamy and delicious texture! Prepping overnight oats the night before or even a couple of nights in advance is a convenient way to have a ready-to-eat breakfast waiting for you in the morning too!

What is the ratio of oats to liquid for overnight oats?

A common ratio for overnight oats is 1 part oats to 1 part liquid. This can be adjusted based on your desired consistency. If you prefer thicker oats, reduce the amount of liquid slightly, and for thinner oats, increase the liquid.
