Ingredients
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 used)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
Toppings (optional)
- Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, etc.)
- Nut butter (almond, peanut, etc.)
- Seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)
- Nuts (chopped walnuts, almonds)
Instructions
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, matcha powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add wet ingredients: To the dry mixture, add plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Stir gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and the oats are fully coated.
- Portion and add toppings: Transfer the oat mixture into jars or containers if not done previously, dividing into two servings. Add your choice of optional toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, seeds, or nuts on top.
- Refrigerate: Cover the containers or jars with lids or cling wrap, and place in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak and blend overnight or for a minimum of 2 hours to achieve ideal consistency.
- Serve and enjoy: When ready to eat, remove the oats from the fridge. Stir the mixture to redistribute the ingredients and toppings, then enjoy a refreshing, energizing breakfast.
Notes
- Overnight oats store well in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, making them ideal for breakfast meal prep.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if you require a strict gluten-free diet.
- For vegan variation, substitute Greek yogurt with plain vegan Greek-style yogurt and consider using soy milk to maintain higher protein content.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- Feel free to experiment with various toppings to suit your preference and nutritional needs.
