These matcha overnight oats are sure to brighten up your mornings! If you are a green tea lover like me, you need to try these as soon as possible! This recipe was based on my usual matcha latte recipe at home, so it's strong, oat-y, and features a touch of cinnamon and maple syrup.
Overnight oats can be enjoyed year-round! Looking for warm matcha oatmeal? Omit the Greek yogurt and heat it when you're ready to eat! Add the yogurt in after you're done heating it.

Ingredients
- Matcha green tea powder
- Milk of choice (I used oat milk in this picture)
- Maple syrup (honey works too!)
- Greek yogurt (any yogurt is fine)
- Quick-cook oats (old-fashioned is great too! I just prefer the consistency of instant oats)
- Cinnamon (optional)
- Chia seeds
- Flaxseed meal
See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Add oats, cinnamon, matcha, chia seeds, and flax seeds to a bowl or jar. Mix until the matcha is evenly distributed (this step is to prevent the matcha from clumping!)
- Add milk, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt to the mix. Thoroughly stir and store overnight (or 2 hours at the very least). Enjoy!
Hint: Sometimes I like to add a little extra milk in the morning to give it more of a porridge consistency.
Substitutions
- Make it vegan: Use non-dairy milk like Oatly oat milk and non-dairy yogurt such as Kite Hill's non-dairy yogurts.
- Make it gluten-free: use gluten-free oatmeal such as Bob's Red Mill GF Quick Oats or their GF Old Fashioned Oats.

Equipment
This recipe is super simple! All you'll need is a jar of some sort and a spoon to mix! I used these weck jars for the servings pictured above, but a small mason jar or any smaller jar would work great!
Personally, I'd use a 16oz mason jar for this recipe just to give it some more room for toppings or extra milk if you want to make it more creamy.
Storage
Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 days.
These ingredients stand up to freezing for up to 3 months.
Top tip
Mix the matcha powder with the dry oats before adding the liquid ingredients! Matcha powder is so fine that it can easily become clumpy and hard to mix when added directly to a cold liquid like milk.
FAQ
Yes! You can freeze these (already prepped) for up to 3 months. Just make sure they are properly sealed before doing so and that there is room for expansion in the jar.
