Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 100 g (1¼ cups) rolled oats (porridge oats)
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1½ teaspoons matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 150 g (¾ cups) Greek yogurt
  • 300 ml (1¼ cups) milk

Optional

  • 100 g (¾ cups) frozen berries (can be substituted with fresh berries)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Place the rolled oats into a medium-sized bowl. Add the chia seeds and matcha powder and stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the matcha and chia throughout the oats.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt. Mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated creating a creamy and uniform mixture.
  3. Incorporate Berries: Add the frozen berries to the oat mixture, gently folding them in. Using frozen berries adds a chilled freshness after refrigeration but fresh berries can be used if preferred.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, or portion the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours—overnight is best to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, and the flavors to meld. If using frozen berries, refrigeration time may help them gently thaw and release extra flavor.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Just before serving, stir the oats to recombine any settled ingredients. Add your favorite toppings such as granola, extra fresh or frozen berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup for additional texture and sweetness. Serve chilled for a refreshing, energizing breakfast.

Notes

  • Overnight oats can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, increase the amount of milk by 50 ml.
  • Use dairy or plant-based milk depending on dietary needs.
  • This recipe is easily customizable with other fruits, nuts, or seeds for texture and flavor variations.
