Cover the mixture and store in the fridge at least 3 hours or overnight.

I love (good quality) matcha for the flavor, health benefits, l-theanine boost, and gentler but potent caffeine effects. I also love the convenience of overnight oats as well as its health benefits, but I get put off by the mushiness and blandness. The matcha addition makes it much more rich and flavorful. I add blueberries, use plain Greek yogurt, and add less maple syrup. Very easy to put together the day before work. Don’t knock it til you try it!
Couldn’t be easier and more adaptable. I scaled down the quantities for a single serving, forgot to add vanilla and sweetener. I added half a banana and vanilla yogurt in the morning. Perfect and just the right portion for me. A tasty way to get a little morning buzz.
@KR heat them then eat them.
I halved the recipe but accidentally used the full amount of both the matcha and oats and I thought it turned out perfect. Seems like it would’ve been much too soupy otherwise and I don’t think a quarter cup of oats is a satisfying serving for me. I used culinary grade matcha and found the flavor pretty delicate even having used the full amount - might try it with a better grade of matcha next time.
This has become my go-to work week breakfast— and sometimes lunch! I use a large lidded bowl and shake the dry oats after adding the matcha- never any lumps! I like a thicker oatmeal, so I reduced the oat milk quite a bit. I even bought bulk matcha (not ceremonial grade) to reduce cost and in this recipe, it makes no difference. Topped with plain nonfat yogurt and fruit, I feel sustained through the day. Thank you so much NYT!
This was too liquid-y as written. Will reduce milk next time.
