Matcha Tiramisu Overnight Oats

Let me tell you, this Matcha Tiramisu Overnight Oats recipe is pure magic in a jar. If you’re someone who wants something sweet, creamy, and actually good for you, this one’s for you. I made this when I was craving dessert at 8 a.m. but still wanted something packed with nutrients. And guess what? It totally worked. It’s got the rich flavor of matcha, a hint of maple, the creaminess of coconut yogurt, and some fun toppings that make every bite exciting. Plus, you just mix it and forget it till morning. Lazy and delicious? Count me in.

Method

1. Whisk the Matcha

First, you’ll want to prepare the matcha. In a small bowl, whisk 1 teaspoon of ceremonial-grade matcha powder with ¼ cup of warm water. I recommend using a bamboo whisk (called a chasen) to really break up the powder and get it nice and smooth. If you don’t have a chasen, a small regular whisk or milk frother will work too just make sure there are no lumps. This step helps the matcha blend evenly with the oats and gives your breakfast that bright green color and earthy flavor.

2. Mix the Base

Once your matcha is whisked, grab a jar or an airtight container. Add ½ cup of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of chia seeds, ½ cup of your favorite milk (I like almond or oat), 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then pour in your whisked matcha. Use a spoon to stir everything together really well, making sure the chia seeds and oats are evenly distributed, and there’s no dry mix hiding at the bottom. This is your overnight oats base. It should look green and a little runny, but don’t worry, it will thicken up as it sits.

3. Chill Out

Once your base is mixed, seal the jar or container and place it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 3 hours, but if you can leave it overnight, that’s even better. The oats will soften, soak up the liquid, and the chia seeds will expand and create a thick, creamy texture. If you’re meal prepping, you can make a few jars at once to have ready-to-go breakfasts for a few days.

4. Dress It Up

When you’re ready to enjoy your matcha oats, it’s time for the fun part toppings! Take the jar out of the fridge and give the oats a quick stir. Then, add a generous layer of coconut yogurt on top, like a creamy frosting. Sift a little matcha powder over the yogurt for a pretty green dusting. Finally, sprinkle on some chopped white chocolate, a few raspberries, and blueberries. The toppings add a sweet, fruity, and crunchy finish that makes every bite exciting. And just like that, your matcha tiramisu overnight oats are ready to eat!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats

  • ▪️ 1 tsp chia seeds

  • ▪️ 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder (whisked with ¼ cup warm water)

  • ▪️ ½ cup milk of choice (I love almond or oat)

  • ▪️ 1 tbsp maple syrup

  • ▪️ ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ▪️ Toppings coconut yogurt, sifted matcha powder, chopped white chocolate, raspberries, blueberries

Directions

  • Whisk the Matcha
    Start by whisking 1 tsp of ceremonial grade matcha with ¼ cup of warm water. I like to use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to get it super smooth and frothy.
  • Mix the Base
    In your jar or container, mix the oats, chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and that lovely green matcha mixture. Give it a good stir so everything’s combined.
  • Chill Out
    Seal your container and pop it into the fridge. Let it sit for at least 3 hours, but overnight is best. The oats will soften, and the chia seeds will work their thickening magic.
  • Dress It Up
    When you’re ready to eat, layer coconut yogurt on top like a creamy tiramisu “frosting.” Then sift some extra matcha powder on top, add chopped white chocolate, and toss on some raspberries and blueberries. It’s basically breakfast and dessert had a baby.

Notes

  •  Make sure the matcha is fully whisked before adding clumps will ruin the smooth texture.
  •  Don’t skip the chia seeds they help thicken the oats and make it pudding-like.
  •  Let it sit long enough! If you try to eat it too early, it’ll be watery and not as creamy.
  •  Use an airtight container to keep it fresh and avoid weird fridge smells.

Serving Suggestions

 ▪️Try it with a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness.
▪️ Swap the coconut yogurt with Greek yogurt if you want more protein.
▪️ Add a dusting of cocoa powder too it pairs surprisingly well with matcha.
▪️ Not a fan of white chocolate? Dark or ruby chocolate works great too.

Fun Fact

Matcha is made from specially grown green tea leaves that are stone-ground into a powder. It’s packed with antioxidants and gives you a calm kind of energy no jittery crash like coffee. Samurai used to drink it before battles. So yeah, this breakfast might make you feel kinda powerful.

Conclusion

Matcha Tiramisu Overnight Oats might sound fancy, but they’re easy, fun, and seriously delicious. I love waking up to something that feels like a treat but is secretly full of good stuff. Whether you’re a matcha lover or just want to try something new, this breakfast won’t disappoint. Give it a go and don’t forget the toppings. They’re the best part.
