ok, i am sure we have all eaten way too much chocolate & treats the last week thanks to halloween! plus, now with halloween being over we are entering the holiday season in FULL FORCE, or at least i am. so i wanted to figure out a healthier way for all of us to get our pumpkin spice & pumpkin pie fix. cue: matcha pumpkin pie overnight oats. they are the perfect grab & go breakfast to whip up before bed. just toss a few ingredients together, portion it into glass weck or mason jars & boom, breakfast is ready. for the best matcha flavour, i used aiya matcha's cooking grade blend. this blend is perfect when mixed with other ingredients as it does not lose its intense matcha flavour. now, who else is decorating their house for christmas this week? too soon for me to hang stockings? pft, never.
