Ingredients
- 1 cup certified gluten-free oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl or directly into your serving jars, combine the certified gluten-free oats, chia seeds, matcha powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the matcha powder is evenly distributed and there are no clumps.
- 2
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir everything together vigorously for about 1-2 minutes, making sure all the oats and chia seeds are submerged in the liquid and the mixture is well combined.
- 3
Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, stirring once more to prevent the chia seeds from clumping at the bottom. This initial rest helps to hydrate the ingredients before chilling.
- 4
Divide the mixture evenly into 4 jars or containers. Cover them tightly with lids or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the oats to soften and the mixture to thicken into a creamy consistency.
- 5
Before serving, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency. Serve chilled, with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced banana, or a sprinkle of nuts.

Tips & Notes
- Certified gluten-free oats vary by cut; any cut works in no-bake recipes, but certified gluten-free rolled oats hold their shape better when baked.
- Warm milk (not hot) is key for yeast-based recipes — aim for 105–115°F to activate yeast without killing it.
- Warm honey (set the jar in hot water for a few minutes) makes it easier to measure and pour.
