Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups unsweetened plant milk
- 2 Tablespoons tahini
- 1 ½ Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 Tablespoon pure matcha powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping
- 1 ½ teaspoons shaved dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk the plant milk in and keep whisking until it's smooth.
- Add the oats, matcha powder, and salt and whisk until thoroughly combined. Set it aside for 10 minutes to let any matcha clumps soften. After 10 minutes, whisk it again to break up any clumps of matcha that haven’t dissolved.
- Divide the oatmeal evenly into three jars or lidded containers. Cover and refrigerate them overnight.
- To make shaved chocolate, use a vegetable peeler to carefully shave the edge of your chocolate bar. Store the chocolate shavings in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.
- The next morning, add the shaved dark chocolate to the overnight oats and serve. Overnight oats can be eaten cold or warmed up. See the recipe notes for reheating instructions.
Notes
Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
If cold oatmeal isn't your thing, you can definitely heat up overnight oats on the stovetop or in the microwave. To use the stovetop, transfer a serving of overnight oats to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring often, until the oatmeal is warmed through. If using the microwave, make sure your overnight oats are in a microwave-safe container. Microwave them on high for two minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the oats are warmed to your liking.
If you're adding dark chocolate to your overnight oats, you can either add it before heating them up or after. Either way is delicious!
