# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
03 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
05 - 1 ¼ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

07 - 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped almonds or pistachios

# Method:

01 - Whisk together the milk and matcha powder in a medium bowl or jar until smooth and no lumps remain.
02 - Add the oats, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup to the matcha milk mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
03 - Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften properly.

05 - Divide the overnight oats into bowls or jars. Top with banana slices, coconut flakes, nuts, and fresh berries as desired.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The matcha provides steady energy without the afternoon crash that coffee often brings
  • Six minutes of night prep means you are waking up to a breakfast that is already waiting for you
02 -
  • Sifting the matcha powder before adding it to the milk prevents those tiny bitter lumps that never quite dissolve
  • Mason jars work beautifully here because you can shake the mixture instead of stirring to combine everything evenly
03 -
  • A tiny pinch of salt transforms the flavor making everything taste more balanced and complete
  • Let your jar sit on the counter for ten minutes before eating to take the chill off
