Matcha Overnight Oats

If you know me, you know my love of Matcha lattes. I’m very particular about the quality of matcha I consume, and Matchaful is hands-down my favorite matcha (thank goodness for online ordering!). Every time I’m in NYC I have to stop by a Matchaful shop – they make the most creative and delicious drinks.

When I was there in December 2023, I saw some matcha overnight oats in their grab and go fridge. I didn’t try them, as I just finished brunch, but I was inspired to try to make my own recipe at home! I think I’ve perfected the recipe – the perfect blend of creaminess with a hint of matcha flavor. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
