Equipment
- 7 oz jars *I like these jars, but you can use any container you like!
- Mini whisk *Optional, a spoon also works.
Ingredients
- ½ cup whole grain rolled oats *see note below
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds *or ground flax seeds
- 2 teaspoons hemp hearts *optional but SO delicious
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder *see note below
- Pinch of sea salt *or regular table salt
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract *or imitation
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup *or brown sugar/honey
- ½ cup unsweetened oat milk *or any type of milk you like!
Optional toppings:
- Whipped cream, granola, berries, extra hemp hearts, fresh fruit, toasted coconut flakes, nuts.
Recipe notes:
Oats: Quick oats will also work though I prefer the taste of whole grain. Matcha: Make sure you buy pure matcha powder and not a sweetened matcha mix. Ceremonial-grade matcha powder is considered the highest quality! I use Republic Of Tea matcha which is culinary grade (one step below ceremonial-grade).Instructions
- Add dry ingredients to a jar or bowl and whisk well.½ cup whole grain rolled oats, 2 teaspoons chia seeds, 2 teaspoons hemp hearts, ½ teaspoon matcha powder, Pinch of sea salt
- Add wet ingredients to oat mixture and stir again until well combined.1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, ½ cup unsweetened oat milk, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Cover and chill/soak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Add desired toppings and enjoy! The longer they soak, the thicker they'll get. You can add milk to thin if desired.
Large batch:
- Instead of individual servings, make one big batch of oats and scoop into containers as needed.
Storage:
- Store in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I personally feel the flavor is better within the first 3 days.If desired, stir in an additional splash of milk before eating. This will thin oats a bit and add creaminess. They can get pretty thick over time!
