🧄 Very useful ingredient notes

Ingredients for matcha raspberry vegan overnight oats: plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt, rolled oats, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, matcha powder, frozen raspberries and hot water

Matcha powder - matcha is green tea that is ground into a powder. Use a good quality matcha, preferably organic. Save your highest quality, ceremonial grade matcha for prepared tea or matcha lattes, though, where you can enjoy it fully.
Raspberries - Frozen raspberries are the best option here, in my opinion. They last for months in the freezer (compared to a few days for fresh raspberries) and when they thaw you have a delicious raspberry juice that flavors the oats really well.
Rolled oats - Use old-fashioned rolled oats for this, not quick or steel cut.
Ground flax - For thickening the oatmeal.
Plant-based yogurt - For creaminess

📋 Substitutions and variations

Here are some suitable substitution options for the ingredients:

Frozen raspberries - Use fresh raspberries instead of frozen. Or, you can use a three berry frozen fruit blend that includes raspberries.
Plant-based milk - use any plant-based milk you enjoy. Vanilla-flavored milk works especially well in this recipe.
Flax - use chia seeds (white or black) instead of ground flaxseed. Or, omit them (but, keep in mind that it will not be as thick if you don't use either of these in your oats).
Nut-free - make this nut-free by using a nut-free plant milk, such as soy milk, rice milk or oat milk.
WFPBNO - make this whole food plant based no oil by using plant-based milk, yogurt and preserves with no added oil or refined sugar.
SOS-free - make this salt-, sugar- and oil-free by using a plant-based milk, yogurt and preserves with no added salt, sugar or oil.

Here are some variation ideas:

Matcha Raspberry Almond Oats - mix in a tablespoon or two of sliced almonds
Matcha Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Oats - mix in a tablespoon of vegan white chocolate chips to the oats

🔪 Instructions

Step-by-step instructions for how to make vegan matcha raspberry overnight oats.

Step 1: Heat filtered water in an electric kettle to 175℉/80℃, which is hot water, but not boiling. If you use boiling water to make your matcha, it will be bitter.

Process - step 2 - add matcha powder to jar

Step 2: Add matcha powder to a heat-proof glass mason jar that is pint-size. If you have a matcha whisk and bowl, you can use that to prepare your matcha, then pour it into a separate container for your oats.

Process - step 3 - pour hot water in and whisk

Step 3: Pour ¼ cup of hot water in the jar. Using hot water will steep the matcha and bring out its flavor.

Step 4: Using a mini whisk or fork, whisk the matcha in a rapid back and forth motion, until no clumps remain. (Do NOT put the lid on the jar and shake to combine the matcha. This is dangerous, since pressure will build up inside.)

Step 5: When it's all whisked and combined, it will be frothy on top.

Step 6: Your prepared matcha should look something like this.

Step 7: Add plant-based milk and yogurt to the jar.

Step 8: Add ground flaxseed.

Step 9: Add maple syrup.

Step 10: Add rolled oats to jar.

Step 11: Stir everything together.

Step 13: Put lid on jar or container and place in the refrigerator overnight or at least 2 hours. This is what your oats may look like before soaking them.

Step 14: When you're ready to eat them, pull it out of the fridge and eat cold or warm up in microwave for 30-60 seconds. This is what your oats may look like after soaking and the raspberries have melted.

🍳 Equipment

a heat-proof container to hold your overnight oats that holds 1 pint (about 2 cups, 16 ounces or 550 milliliters). I recommend using wide mouth pint size mason jars. The pretty glasses in my pictures are 15 ounce stemless wine glasses from Walmart.
a small, mini whisk (pictured below) or fork. If you have a matcha whisk and bowl, use that to make your matcha first, then pour into your overnight oats container.

🥡 Make ahead and storage tips

Overnight oats are perfect for meal prep and batch cooking. Make them Sunday night to have breakfast ready to go all week long. Store overnight oats in the refrigerator, combined, for up to 5 days.

Only add the raspberries 1-3 days before hand, though. You can also add the fresh or frozen raspberries the morning of, as well. Frozen raspberries don't take very long to thaw.

To meal prep these matcha latte oats, multiply the recipe based on how many you're making. Then, whisk up all the matcha in one container, then divide equally between the containers, so you don't have to whisk them all separately.

This recipe does not stand up well to freezing.
