The Matcha Morning Ritual
Why Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats Became My Go-To Jar
Years ago, during long hospital night shifts, I was constantly searching for a breakfast that didn’t just fuel me—it had to feel like a moment of peace. That’s when I discovered overnight oats. I began with the basics, but when I added matcha and coconut for the first time, it changed everything. A luscious blend with earthy green tea notes and a delicate touch of vanilla-kissed sweetness. Absolute bliss.
These Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats soon transformed into more than just a meal. They were comfort in a jar—a daily act of self-care. I’d prep a batch at night, pop it in the fridge, and look forward to waking up to something I truly loved. Matcha gave me energy without the crash, while coconut added tropical warmth, even in the coldest Asheville winters.
Today, it’s a staple in my rotation—and it’s also a recipe my readers return to again and again. Because when you find a breakfast that checks all the boxes—flavorful, nourishing, and effortlessly quick—you stick with it. Just like I have.
If you’re new to matcha, don’t worry. This recipe is approachable and beginner-friendly. And if you’re already obsessed with green tea like I am, this is your next favorite thing.

The Secret to Perfect Texture
Matcha has a delicate flavor, so blending it evenly is essential. To avoid lumps, blend the matcha powder thoroughly with milk before mixing it into the oats. This step takes less than a minute but ensures every bite has that smooth, earthy richness.
Also, if you’re using shredded coconut, stick with unsweetened—it’s more versatile and keeps your oats from becoming overly sugary. For best results, use rolled oats and let the mix sit for at least 6 hours.Come morning, the oats turn velvety and richly infused with flavor.
Nourishment That Powers You All Morning
Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats: More Than Just Flavor
When it comes to breakfast, I want more than great taste—I want real fuel. That’s why I keep coming back to Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats. This simple jar isn’t just creamy and comforting. It’s loaded with ingredients that support energy, focus, and fullness for hours.
Let’s start with matcha. It’s a fine green tea powder packed with antioxidants, especially catechins that support immunity and healthy metabolism. Matcha also contains L-theanine, a natural compound that promotes calm alertness. That means you’ll enjoy a smooth lift in energy—minus the jitters or crash from coffee.
Coconut complements matcha perfectly, not just in flavor but in nutrition. Unsweetened shredded coconut contains MCTs (medium-chain fats) that support brain health and long-lasting satiety. Paired with rolled oats, which offer slow-burning complex carbs, this breakfast keeps you satisfied through the busiest mornings.
The beauty of Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats is in the balance. You’re getting protein from collagen creamer, fiber from oats and coconut, and natural sweetness from vanilla syrup—all in one prep-friendly jar.
Customize Your Jar to Fit Your Life
What I love most about overnight oats is how adaptable they are. Don’t have collagen creamer?Try using Greek yogurt or add a scoop of your preferred protein powder for an extra boost. Want extra fiber? Stir in chia seeds or ground flax.
For a flavor lift, top your oats with fresh strawberries or toasted coconut flakes. If you’re leaning toward indulgent, a spoonful of almond butter adds creaminess and depth. Just be sure to whisk your matcha with the milk first—it prevents clumps and creates that signature smooth, earthy flavor.Every jar of Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats can be tweaked to match your mood, goals, or grocery list. You’ll never get bored, and your mornings will always start strong.
How to Make Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats the Right Way
Simple Steps for Perfect Overnight Oats Every Time
Making Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats is incredibly simple, but a few small tips go a long way toward boosting both flavor and texture. Here’s how I prepare my go-to jar:
Start with your base. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup milk of choice, one scoop of collagen creamer, and 1 teaspoon of high-quality matcha powder. I always whisk the matcha with the milk first before adding it to the oats—it dissolves smoother and avoids clumps.
Next, stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla coffee syrup and 1 tablespoon of unsweetened shredded coconut.Stir well to ensure the matcha blends smoothly and evenly throughout the mixture.
Secure the lid and chill in the refrigerator overnight, or for a minimum of 2 hours. By morning, your oats will be creamy, chilled, and ready to enjoy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk and stir.
Top with sliced strawberries or toasted coconut flakes for an extra burst of flavor and texture. And if you’re into buildable breakfasts, check out more easy overnight oat recipes that are just as customizable and nourishing.
Storage and Prep Tips You’ll Actually Use
These Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats store well for up to three days, making them ideal for batch prep. I often make two or three jars at once—especially for busy weeks.
Opt for wide-mouth mason jars to make stirring and eating more convenient. Keep them sealed tightly to preserve freshness, and always stir before serving. If you want to warm them up, 30 seconds in the microwave will do the trick—just remove the lid first.

Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats FAQs Answered
Is matcha good in overnight oats?
Absolutely. Matcha not only adds a unique, earthy flavor to overnight oats—it also brings powerful health benefits. Rich in antioxidants and naturally energizing without the crash, matcha is a smart and tasty addition to your breakfast jar. When paired with coconut and oats, it delivers a balanced blend of flavor and function.
Does matcha go with oat or coconut milk?
Yes, both work beautifully. Oat milk creates a creamy, mild base that lets the matcha shine, while coconut milk enhances the tropical twist in these Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats. Use full-fat coconut milk for richness, or opt for a lighter version if you prefer a thinner consistency.
What not to add in overnight oats?
Avoid adding ingredients that can overpower the flavor or spoil quickly. For Matcha Coconut Overnight Oats, steer clear of citrus juice, melons, or anything too acidic—they can cause the mixture to separate. Also, skip granulated sweeteners that don’t dissolve well in cold liquids.
Can I add shredded coconut to overnight oats?
Definitely. Shredded coconut adds texture, healthy fats, and a subtle sweetness to the oats. Just make sure to use unsweetened coconut to avoid turning your oats overly sugary. It pairs perfectly with matcha and adds depth to the final bite.
