Ingredients
- ½ cup (50 g) rolled oats
- 1 tsp (2 g) culinary grade matcha; sifted (use less for a lighter flavor)
- 1 tbsp (10 g) pine nuts (optional)
- ½ tsp (2 g) chia seeds (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
- ⅔ cup (180 ml) unsweetened milk (dairy or nondairy)
- 1 tsp (7 g) maple syrup, or honey
Equipment
- One 16 oz glass jar with lid
- spoon for stirring
- food scale (optional)
Toppings:
- fresh or dried fruit of your choice
- any nut of your choice
- coconut chips
- A pinch of bee pollen
- More honey, or maple syrup to taste
Directions
Stir all ingredients together in glass jar. Mix well.
Close the lid tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours—preferably overnight.
In the morning, remove from refrigerator, stir and add your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
Yields: 1 serving.
Notes
I use unsweetened almond milk for this recipe.
You can either add toppings along with the rest of the ingredients (the night before), or just before you eat the oats in the morning. I prefer to add some toppings (like fruit) in the morning so it stays fresh instead of soggy. When the weather is cold, you can also microwave the oats for 10-15 seconds to warm it up a bit. If that’s the case, then definitely add the toppings after the oats are heated.

Story
I loved making overnight oats for busy days. Preparing oats the night before helped me to relax knowing the next morning, I will have a delicious breakfast ready for me to grab-and-go!
I love overnight oats because I can customize the ingredients—using fruits in season or whatever I have at home. Check out these recipes for more overnight oats ideas.
