A quick and easy overnight oats recipe infused with ceremonial grade matcha, topped with toasted coconut and sweetened red bean paste for a refreshing and nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened red bean paste (or canned whole red beans lightly mashed)
  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries or sliced banana, chia seeds or hemp seeds

Instructions

  1. Toast the shredded coconut: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of shredded unsweetened coconut and stir frequently for 3–5 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
  2. Prepare the matcha mixture: In a small bowl, whisk 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of coconut milk until smooth and no lumps remain.
  3. Combine oats and liquids: In a mixing bowl or jar, add 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, the remaining 7/8 cup (210ml) coconut milk, the matcha mixture, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add the red bean paste: Gently fold in 3 tablespoons of sweetened red bean paste. If using canned whole red beans, lightly mash a few with a fork before adding.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Serve and garnish: The next morning, give the oats a gentle stir. Spoon into serving bowls or eat straight from the jar. Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top along with any optional toppings like fresh berries or banana slices.

Notes

Toast coconut carefully over medium heat to avoid burning. Whisk matcha powder with a small amount of liquid first to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness to taste. Use full-fat coconut milk for creamier texture. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash more coconut milk. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days.
