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.
Any suggestions on how to make this with steel cut oats?
@Lefty Lucy I have made overnight oats with steel cut oats often and it makes it much less soupy and a more pleasant texture for me (admittedly mush-adverse). Not sure how the proportions will work out. Might take some experimenting
I partially cook steel cut oats, and then use them in overnight oats recipes. Getting the exact right consistency is a process but it’s worth it if you want to use steel cut oats!
I used unsweetened vanilla oat milk instead of vanilla extract - saved a step and tasted great.
Simple and effective!
