Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (choose certified gluten free if needed)
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk of choice (almond milk recommended)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to desired sweetness)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, kiwi, etc.)
  • Nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew)
  • Seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)
  • Nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Serving Containers: This recipe yields 2 servings. You can prepare the oats directly in 2 jars or containers with lids by dividing ingredients evenly, which minimizes cleanup. Alternatively, mix all in one large bowl then transfer to containers for a visually nicer presentation.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, matcha powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, unsweetened milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the oats are fully coated and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Portion and Add Toppings: If not already done, transfer the oat mixture into jars or containers. Top with your desired toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, seeds, or nuts to enhance flavor and texture.
  5. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the containers and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, blending the flavors.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, remove the oats from the fridge, stir well to combine any settled ingredients, add additional toppings if desired, and enjoy your energizing breakfast.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey based on your preference.
  • Certified gluten-free oats can be used to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Try different milk types such as oat, soy, or coconut milk to change the flavor profile.
  • The toppings add texture and extra nutrients; get creative with seasonal fruits and your favorite nuts or seeds.
  • Overnight oats can be prepared up to 3 days in advance for convenient meal prep.
