Tips & Notes
- Culinary-grade matcha is made for mixing and costs less. Ceremonial grade is sweeter and brighter, but most of that subtlety is lost under oats and maple.
- Matcha has caffeine, so a jar is closer to a small cup of coffee than a caffeine-free breakfast.
- Keep the matcha tin sealed in the fridge after opening; air and light turn it dull and hay-like.
- The jars keep 3 days refrigerated. The green is brightest in the first 2 days and fades to olive after that.
Common questions
How do I keep matcha from clumping in overnight oats?
Sift it, then whisk it into 1/4 cup warm almond milk to make a paste before adding the rest of the liquid. Stirring dry matcha straight into cold milk leaves green lumps.
Do matcha overnight oats get bitter overnight?
Not from sitting. Bitterness comes from scorching the matcha in very hot liquid or from using too much. If you are sensitive to it, start with 2 teaspoons.
Which milk goes best with matcha overnight oats?
Almond milk keeps the matcha flavor clean. Oat milk labeled gluten-free is creamier and slightly sweet, and dairy milk works too.
How long does Gluten-Free Matcha Overnight Oats take?
Gluten-Free Matcha Overnight Oats takes about 4 hours 10 minutes, including resting time: 10 minutes to prep, for 4 servings.
What should I check before making Gluten-Free Matcha Overnight Oats with celiac disease?
Written with gluten-free ingredients. Use products labeled gluten-free, check labels, and ask your clinician about your own needs.
What cross-contamination risk is specific to Gluten-Free Matcha Overnight Oats?
Check gluten-free oats, unsweetened almond milk, divided, chia seeds before they go into Gluten-Free Matcha Overnight Oats. Oats need a gluten-free label, since standard oats often carry wheat from shared fields and mills, and matcha and chia seeds need the same check. Sift the matcha through a clean strainer and mix in a fresh jar.
Which gluten-free swaps does Gluten-Free Matcha Overnight Oats use?
Gluten-Free Matcha Overnight Oats relies on oats labeled gluten-free. Keep those gluten-free-labeled products in place of a gluten-containing flour or sauce. If the blend already lists xanthan gum, do not add a second binder unless this recipe says to.
