Matcha Overnight Oats

These matcha overnight oats are the perfect boost of energy for your morning! They’re high in fiber from the oats and chia seeds, protein from the greek yogurt and caffeine from the matcha.

Our selection of matcha recipes on the site is slowly but surely expanding! We have matcha sugar cookies, matcha pancakes, matcha muffins and now these matcha overnight oats. They’re so easy to make, high in protein and give you the perfect boost of energy first thing in the morning.

They have oats (obviously), chia seeds, greek yogurt, milk and matcha powder. I suggest using ceremonial grade matcha powder here. You want to find one that is a very vibrant green color- not a dull brown/yellow color.

Before we get started!

Oats are naturally gluten free, but if you have Celiac, be sure to use certified gluten free oats as they can often be contaminated during processing.

If you want to up the protein content even more, you can add in a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder. You may need to add a bit more milk to thin things out if it gets too thick- just depends on your preference!

As written, this recipe isn’t overly sweet. I used just two tablespoons of honey and it was the perfect amount for me (especially with a bit of added sweetness from the protein powder) but if you prefer it more sweet, feel free to add more!

How to make matcha overnight oats

In a medium mixing bowl or tupperware container, whisk together the milk, yogurt, honey or maple syrup and vanilla until the greek yogurt is well combined.

Whisk in the oats, chia seeds, matcha and salt until everything is well mixed.

Let sit for 10 minutes, stir again, then cover and let set in the fridge for 2 hours.

Stir again, then serve with more yogurt, berries, honey and pumpkin seeds. Enjoy and try my matcha chia pudding or matcha pancakes next!

Variations & serving suggestions

Add protein! For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or collagen peptides, which have little to no flavor. If using protein powder, I suggest a vanilla flavor which will pair well with the matcha. If you add any powder, you will probably need an additional 2 tablespoons of milk so the oats aren’t too thick.

Oats. I love using quick oats for these matcha overnight oats which I prefer because they absorb the liquid faster

Make it vegan! You can easily make this recipe vegan by swapping the milk for a non-dairy milk like almond or soy and swapping the greek yogurt for a plant based version like coconut yogurt. The protein content won’t be as high with these swaps but the flavor and texture will still be great.

Toppings. I kept it simple with berries and yogurt, but you can spruce it up with my air fryer peaches, add some sliced banana, chopped nuts, nut butter etc! Feel free to get creative.

How to store

Once prepared, these matcha overnight oats last in the fridge for 3-4 days. Keep them in an air tight container like a mason jar, weck jar, or standard tupperware container for best results and give a good stir before serving to ensure nothing has settled. You can portion things out in smaller containers so you can have grab and go breakfasts throughout the week!
