Strawberry Matcha Latte Oats (Printable Version)

Creamy oats layered with fresh strawberries and matcha for a vibrant breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt

→ Matcha Layer

08 - 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
09 - 2 tablespoons hot water
10 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

→ Strawberry Layer

11 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
12 - 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
13 - 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with hot water until completely dissolved and smooth. Add almond milk and stir until fully blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine diced strawberries with lemon juice and maple syrup. Gently mash approximately half of the strawberries to achieve a chunky sauce texture while maintaining some whole berry pieces.
04 - Divide half of the prepared oat mixture evenly between two mason jars, distributing the base layer uniformly.
05 - Layer the strawberry mixture over the oat base in each jar, reserving several strawberry pieces for final garnish.
06 - Mix the remaining oat mixture with the prepared matcha blend until the color is uniform and smooth. Carefully layer this matcha-infused mixture over the strawberry layer in the jars.
07 - Top each jar with reserved strawberry pieces for visual appeal and flavor. Securely seal the jars with their lids.
08 - Place sealed jars in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and oats to reach optimal texture.
09 - Remove jars from refrigerator, gently stir to combine layers, and enjoy directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl if preferred.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You prep it once and grab it for three mornings straight, which feels like winning at adulting.
  • The earthy matcha plays beautifully against bright strawberry sweetness in a way that makes you slow down and actually taste your breakfast.
  • It's pretty enough to feel fancy but easy enough that you can make it half-asleep on a Sunday.
02 -
  • Don't skip the hot water when dissolving matcha—cold water leaves it clumpy and bitter, and you'll spend breakfast grinding tea powder between your teeth instead of enjoying it.
  • The ratio of oat base to matcha layer matters; if you use too much matcha, it overpowers the strawberry, so follow the measurements the first time and adjust your next batch if you want it stronger.
03 -
  • Make sure your matcha powder is fresh and stored in a cool, dark place; old matcha tastes bitter and defeats the entire purpose of using it.
  • If you're packing these for travel, seal them tight and keep them in an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack; they stay perfectly chilled and ready to eat for up to six hours.
