Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Oats Base
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats (Old Fashioned)
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk Or preferred milk substitute
  • 1 teaspoon Matcha Green Tea Powder Ceremonial grade recommended for best flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup or Honey Adjust to taste
Optional Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Berries e.g., blueberries or raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon Sliced Almonds For crunch

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together the matcha green tea powder and a small splash (about 1 tablespoon) of the almond milk until the matcha is completely dissolved and there are no clumps.
  2. Add the rolled oats, remaining almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and chia seeds to the jar.
  3. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the matcha is evenly distributed, giving the oats a pale green hue.
  4. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours, though preferably overnight (8 hours), allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. If the mixture is too thick, stir in an extra splash of almond milk until desired texture is reached.
  6. Top with fresh berries and sliced almonds just before serving for the best flavor and texture contrast.

Notes

For a richer flavor, steep the matcha in a tiny amount of hot water (not boiling) first before mixing with cold milk. These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
