Ingredients

- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as soy, almond, or oat milk)
- 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼ cup homemade date syrup (or substitute with maple syrup, agave nectar)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sweet cashew cream (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and matcha powder.
2️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients
- Pour in the plant-based milk and date syrup. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, breaking up any clumps of matcha powder.
3️⃣ Let It Sit
- Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
4️⃣ Assemble
- Transfer the mixture into mason jars or airtight containers. Top with sliced banana and, if desired, a dollop of sweet cashew cream.
5️⃣ Refrigerate
- Seal the containers and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
6️⃣ Serve
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy cold.
Notes
✅ Sweeteners: Replace date syrup with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
✅ Toppings: Add fresh berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavor.
✅ Flavor Enhancements: Add a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra depth of flavor.
