Here I share my favourite vegan recipes that are not only delicious, but they are vibrant, wholesome and designed to nourish you from the inside out with vegan and vegan curious followers.
These Strawberry Matcha Latte Overnight Oats are creamy, thick and delicious made with real strawberries and ceremonial grade matcha green tea powder. These oats are the perfect breakfast spin on the viral latte.
I love anything to do with oats, matcha lattes and strawberries in the summer so I wanted to re-create the much-loved strawberry matcha latte in breakfast form. Like the drink, it has a strawberry base topped with lots of creamy matcha and with some whipped coconut cream to finish it off. The key to creating thick and creamy oats here is thick coconut yoghurt, evaporated coconut milk and also sweetened condensed coconut milk to make them really sticky (see notes for alternatives to these ingredients). The end result is almost too pretty to eat!
Why will I love these oats?
These oats are amazing:

If you already love the sound of these oats, then skip ahead to the recipe card below. Or, first let’s discuss the recipe in more detail.
What ingredients do I need?
You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card as well as my favourite recommended products in the “shop the recipe” section.
To make the strawberry layer:
Fresh strawberries: in the summer fresh is best, but to make these all year long, you can use frozen berries. Allow them to defrost first and remove the excess liquid (or use all the liquid and reduce the amount of milk you add).
Sweetened condensed coconut milk: this is from Natures Charm and is so sticky and sweet and is perfect for adding a little sweetness. For alternatives, use maple syrup.
Evaporated coconut milk: this is thicker and creamier than regular coconut milk as it’s reduced by ½. I also love the Natures Charm tin for this recipe, or use full-fat coconut milk.
Thick coconut yoghurt: adds creaminess and gut healthy fermented goodness as well as good fats. I like the Cocos Organic natural or vanilla yoghurt here.
Oats: the basic ingredient for overnight oats. Make sure they are gluten-free, where needed.
Chia seeds: these thicken the oats as they soak, absorbing all the liquid.
And for the matcha layer, use all of the same ingredients as above as well as:
Matcha green tea powder: I use the Meiko ceremonial grade matcha from Matchaeologist (nourishinglove15 for 15% off) or the matcha powder from Blendsmiths which are both amazing. Your matcha should be bright green and super fine.
Vegan vanilla protein powder: this makes the layer so creamy and high in protein too. I use a vanilla protein powder but salted caramel would also be fun.
Plant-based milk: the top layer gets a lot of the liquid from the berries, so for the green layer, add your favourite dairy-free milk like oat, almond or coconut (from the carton).
These Strawberry Matcha Latte Overnight Oats are creamy, thick and delicious made with real strawberries and ceremonial grade matcha green tea powder. These oats are the perfect breakfast spin on the viral latte.
2 strawberries, in thin slices (plus extra on top)
Extra matcha powder, sieved
Instructions
For the strawberry layer, add the strawberries, sweetened condensed coconut milk, evaporated coconut milk and coconut yoghurt to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a container and stir in the oats and chia seeds. Seal with a lid and store in the fridge overnight.
For the matcha oats, add the oats, chia seeds, matcha powder and protein powder to a bowl and stir to combine. Pour in the sweetened condensed coconut milk, evaporated coconut milk, plant-based milk and coconut yoghurt and stir really well. Seal with a lid and store in the fridge overnight to thicken.
Chill the whipping cream overnight and just before serving, spoon into a bowl and whisk for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy (I like a standing mixer but a handheld electric mixer works too).
To serve, spoon the strawberry oats into two jars and top with some sliced strawberries. Top with the matcha oats and serve with spoons of the coconut whipped cream. Dust with extra matcha powder and add some extra strawberries.
Enjoy straight away or cover tightly and keep in the fridge for 2-3 days.
