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.
perfect as is but very easy to customize
I like my oats, a little thicker, so I added more oats to the mix. Reducing the milk, of course, would do the same thing.
Ok, so when I made these I whisked for around 8 minutes thinking that the matcha clumps would go but there was still a few that remained. So when they came out I whisked more, but the fact that you mix matcha with cold milk makes it have this powdery texture so here’s what I recommend. Make a matcha shot. It’s basically where you sift your matcha into a cup add about twice or three times the amount of water than the amount of matcha. (If you add 2 tsp matcha add 4 tsp water). Then you froth it and let it froth for around 30 ish seconds. Then add a bit less milk to the oats and pour over the matcha shot and you get a less clumpy grainy texture in your oats. 🍵
