Ingredients

For the full ingredient measurements, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

• Rolled oats, or old fashion oats, they hold their shape and create a better texture.
• Almond milk, or non dairy milk, like soy milk.
• Yoghurt, I use an unsweetened, greek style plain yoghurt.
• Chia seeds,  they add nutrients and gives these overnight oats a creamy texture.
• Maple syrup, or other liquid sweetener.
• Vanilla extract, this goes so well with the matcha. You can also use vanilla paste or vanilla powder.

Substitutions

This Matcha overnight oat recipe only contains a few, simple ingredients. Most of them are standard pantry staples but there are some substitutions you can make. 

• Gluten-free – Oats are naturally gluten-free, but can contain traces of gluten. To ensure these overnight oats gluten-free, only use certified gluten-free oats. 
• Milk– This recipe uses unsweetened almond milk. It can be substitute for any other kind of milk. Soy milk or oat milk are two examples that works great in this recipe to keep it vegan. For non vegan, normal milk can be used.
• Yoghurt- This gives the overnight oats a little creamier. Use your favourite yoghurt or it can be substituted with equal amount of milk.
• Maple Syrup – Use as much as you like, its good to taste the overnight oats before you put them in the fridge to adjust the sweetness. Maple syrup can also be replaced with any other liquid sweetener or even a little brown sugar in a pinch.

Toppings

One of the best part of overnight oats, are all the topping possibilities. Some of my favourites are:

• Fresh berries or fruit
• Yoghurt
• Chocolate chips 
• Seeds
• Chopped nuts

How long does overnight oats keep?

Overnight oats needs to be stored in the fridge since this recipe contains both yoghurt and almond milk. It will keep for about 5 days in airtight container. The longer it sit, the more liquid the oats will soak up and you will end up with a thicker texture. If needed, you can stir in a little extra milk just before serving. It is better to wait with the toppings until it is time to serve, it will keep fresher longer.
