    🧄 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. It has a laundry list of health benefits, including antioxidants and cancer-preventive EGCG. 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 refrigerator (compared to a few days for fresh raspberries) and when they thaw you have a delicious raspberry juice that flavors the oats really well.
    • Old-fashioned rolled oats - do not use quick oats for this recipe, they turn out mushy. Don't use steel cut, they don't get soft enough to enjoy with this method. You want old-fashioned rolled oatmeal for this method of cooking oats.
    • Plant-based milk - any vegan milk you enjoy should work here, like almond milk (pictured), soy milk, oat milk (for that double oat flavor!), coconut milk, cashew milk and rice milk. You can use unsweetened or sweetened original varieties, if you like. Vanilla milk works great, too.
    • Ground flax - adds health benefits of added fiber, along with omega-3. Flaxseed also thickens the oatmeal.
    • Plant-based yogurt - adds extra creaminess and protein. Vegan yogurts made from cashew, soy, coconut, almond and oat will all work here.

    📋 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).
    • Maple syrup - substitute with a sweetener of your choice, such as: cane sugar, brown sugar, agave nectar or coconut sugar. Or, omit entirely, if you don't want it sweetened at all.
    • 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 for these matcha overnight oats with frozen raspberries:

    • Matcha Raspberry Chocolate Chip Oats - mix in a tablespoon of chocolate chips to the oats
    • 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.

    heat water to 175F in electric kettle

    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

    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

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

    Process step 3.2 whisking

    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.)

    Process 3.3 what whisked matcha looks like

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

    Process 3.3 whisked matcha

    Your prepared matcha should look something like this.

    Process step 4 add yogurt

    Add plant-based milk and yogurt to the jar.

    Process step 5 add ground flax

    Add ground flaxseed.

    Process step 6 add maple syrup

    Add maple syrup.

    Process step 8 add oats

    Add rolled oats to jar.

    Process step 9 stir together

    Stir everything together.

    process - adding frozen raspberries to top

    Add raspberries to top of jar or container.

    process: side view of finished matcha raspberry overnight oats before they soak overnight

    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.

    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.

    ⭐️ Expert tips

    • Use a canning funnel to add ingredients to jars (especially regular mouth jars, which are more narrow) without making a mess
    • Make several of these at once, so you have breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up snack ready for several days.

    🍳 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.
    • measuring spoons and cups
    Process step 3.1 mini whisk

    🥡 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.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 teaspoon matcha powder

    Instructions
     

    • Heat filtered water in an electric kettle to 175°F/80°C, which is hot water, but not boiling. Do not use boiling water, as it will make the matcha green tea bitter. Green tea should be steeped with slightly cooler water than other teas for the best taste.

Pour ¼ cup hot water in the jar and whisk rapidly in a back and forth motion with a mini whisk or fork. You can stop whisking when you don't see any more clumps of powder. (Do NOT put lid on jar and shake the hot liquid, this is dangerous.)
      1 teaspoon matcha powder, ¼ cup hot water
    • Add milk, yogurt, ground flaxseed, maple syrup and oats to the glass jar. Stir everything together with spoon.
      ¼ cup plant-based milk, 2 tablespoons plant-based yogurt, 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
    • Add frozen (or fresh) raspberries on top of oats.
      1 cup raspberries
    • Place a lid or cover on the container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
    • Eat cold or microwave for 30-60 seconds to warm up. Prepared overnight oats will stay good stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
