Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon culinary grade matcha powder
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit & Toppings
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds (for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the matcha is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds until everything is well combined, ensuring the oats are evenly soaked in the flavored liquid.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in half of the chopped strawberries to distribute fruit flavor throughout the oats without breaking them down too much.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken to a creamy consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, stir the oats well. If a thinner consistency is preferred, add a splash of milk and mix. Top with the remaining fresh strawberries and sliced almonds for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- To prevent clumps of matcha powder, blend the matcha with the milk first before mixing with other ingredients.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for convenient meal prep.
