Whip up these Oat Milk Matcha Latte Overnight Oats for an easy grab-n-go breakfast. This 5-ingredient overnight oats recipe is made with gluten-free rolled oats, chia seeds, oat milk, matcha powder, and vanilla syrup.

I’m on a matcha kick right now 🍵. I haven’t been able to enjoy coffee for a very long time, it was causing me some serious GI issues. Matcha would bother me too if I had too much, BUT as of lately I’ve been enjoying 1/2 teaspoon in my morning cup of warm plant milk and I’ve been feeling great! It gives me a little boost but doesn’t cause any nasty stomach issues or caffeine crashes. Hooray! 🎉

Also, a goal of mine this year is to be better about eating breakfast. Breakfast is hard with the morning rush of getting the kids dressed and fed before school, making lunches, loading in the car and making it there on time! Overnight oats are perfect for busy mornings when I’m needing something healthy to fuel my morning but don’t have a ton of time. If you can relate, also check out my Blueberry Overnight Quinoa!

This Oat Milk Matcha Latte Overnight Oats recipe starts with my popular Copycat Starbucks Dairy-Free Iced Matcha Latte (minus the ice) and is poured over gluten-free rolled oats and chia seeds, stirred together and chilled in the fridge overnight for a ready-made breakfast.

Matcha green tea is made from ground up green tea leaves and is a great alternative to coffee. Matcha is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, including vitamin C and B to help boost glowing skin. It does contain caffeine, but unlike coffee, it doesn’t lead to that afternoon energy crash. The non-jittery energy boost you get from matcha is from the amino acid L-theanine. Studies show that L-theanine can be effective in reducing stress (unlike coffee which commonly induces jittery anxiety) and increases the GABA neurotransmitter in the brain.

The Ingredients

Gluten-free rolled oats. You may also use quick oats, but I used sprouted rolled oats in this overnight oats recipe.

Chia seeds. I used black chia seeds but you can also use white chia seeds. Chia seeds are such a superfood that has many health benefits, so I add them to my diet whenever I can!

Oat milk. You can use oat milk or any other plant milk will due. I like using oat since it’s thick and creamy (and since it’s an oat-based recipe anyway).

Matcha. There are a lot of different matcha powders out there, and it’s readily available at most grocery stores now. I prefer to buy organic matcha powder. Some add sugar, so just be mindful of that if you’re trying to keep the sugar content low.

Vanilla syrup. I used J.T. Copper Vanilla Cane Syrup- you only need 1 tablespoon. If you can’t find it, you may use another but be mindful of the ingredients. If you can’t find it or prefer to swap the vanilla syrup out for maple syrup that would be find. You can also add 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

How to Make Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are extremely simple to make. Simply add the dry oats to a glass or these overnight oats containers, add the chia seeds next and then pour over the liquid, in this case the oat milk matcha latte.

I recommend making the matcha latte first by combining the matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of warm water, using either a powered frother or a matcha whisk (my preference). Then add the oat milk and vanilla syrup and stir until well combined. Pour the matcha “latte” over the oats, stir well, cover and chill overnight.

I chose to add a dollop of oat milk whipped cream that I bought at Whole Foods on top, but that’s totally optional.
