Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, matcha powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to blend all dry ingredients thoroughly, ensuring there are no clumps for an even flavor distribution.
Mix in Wet Ingredients: Pour in the plain Greek yogurt and your choice of unsweetened milk. Add the vanilla extract and sweeten with maple syrup or honey. Mix everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Transfer and Layer: If you mixed the ingredients in a bowl, transfer the mixture into individual jars or containers. Layer the mixture while leaving enough space at the top to add toppings later.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jars or containers with lids and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight to achieve a creamy, thick texture.
Stir and Serve: When ready to eat, stir the oats to combine the soaked ingredients. Top with your favorite fresh fruits, nut butters, and seeds or nuts to add taste and texture.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a vegan Greek-style yogurt and use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
Use certified gluten-free oats if you need a gluten-free meal.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste preference.
You can prepare these oats up to 3 days in advance for convenient meal prep.
Try different fruits and nuts for seasonal variety.
