Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk (canned light or carton)
1–2 teaspoons matcha powder (ceremonial or premium culinary grade)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon shredded coconut (unsweetened)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Gather your ingredients: oats, coconut milk, matcha powder, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt if using.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a jar with a lid (12-16 oz Mason jar works well), add rolled oats, matcha powder, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. If using salt, add it now. Stir dry ingredients together thoroughly.
3. Add wet ingredients: Pour in coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
4. Stir well: Stir everything together very thoroughly, scraping the bottom and sides of the jar to ensure no dry pockets remain.
5. Seal and refrigerate: Place the lid securely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight (8 hours) for best texture.
6. Enjoy: The next morning, stir. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk. Add desired toppings (fresh fruit, nuts, extra shredded coconut) and serve.
Notes
Choose quality matcha for best flavor and color. Don’t skimp on chilling time – 8 hours is ideal for creamy texture. Stir vigorously for at least 30 seconds to prevent clumps. Adjust consistency with extra milk if needed. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 3-4 days. Add toppings just before serving to maintain crunch and freshness. Not recommended for freezing.
