What Else Can I Add For Toppings?

Berries are always a great choice. We did blueberries, but also strawberries and raspberries great. Slivered almonds or walnuts are another great addition. Vegan Greek yogurt or our homemade soy yogurt or a little bit of peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter are great for some healthy fats. A little bit of toasted coconut and more vegan white chocolate chips or regular dairy-free chocolate chips are also great!

Why Shouldn't I Use Quick Oats?

They'll get way too mushy if you leave them overnight. For the best results, use rolled oats for this overnight oats recipe.

Can I Use Steel Cut Oats?

No. Steel cut oats are too thick and will not get soft enough. You could try par cooking them.

What Jar Do You Recommend Using?

We used these jars here. They're really nice to carry on the go! But any mason jar should work.

Can I use regular green tea leaves instead of a jar of matcha?

No, they will not dissolve and sencha leaves are not the same as matcha. While you could brew green tea, strain it, and use it in this recipe, it would not be the same. Also, it would be far too much water and in my opinion you still need to be able to use the soy milk to get creamy overnight oats.

Instructions

Grab Your Jar: You want the right jar for the right job. We used 16-ounce jar with a sealable lid. Any bigger or smaller and you'll have to adjust the recipe.
Heat the Milk: Place your milk in a microwave safe measuring cup. Heat it for 20 to 30 seconds. It should be hot but not boiling.
Mix the Matcha: Pour the hot milk in to the jar. Add the matcha and stir in. You may want to use an electric frother to make things easier (or use a blender!). (Alternatively, if you're familiar with using a matcha whisk and bowl, sift in your matcha, add a tablespoon or two of the warm milk and whisk the matcha that way.)
Add Everything Else: Add the liquid ingredients, mix, then the dry ingredients, and mix again. Taste the liquids as now is the best time to adjust the sweetness level. Be sure to reserve a tablespoon of white chocolate chips if you want it as a topping too.
Refrigerate: Seal the jar and add it to your fridge. Let chill and absorb for at least 6 hours or until morning.
Serve: Add any fruit toppings, such as blueberries or raspberries and enjoy your matcha oats!

Notes

Note 1: Used rolled oats. Quick oats get too mushy and steel cut oats are too thick and will not get soft enough.
Note 2: Top your oats with blueberries, strawberries, slivered almond or walnuts.
