Matcha Chia Oat Parfait - gluten-free, delicious, made with 3 layers of yum! Made with whole ingredients such as chia seeds, quick-cooking oats, coconut, matcha, and maple syrup to name a few. 1 layer of matcha flavored oats, followed by a creamy thick layer of vanilla chia pudding, last loaded with tons of fruit.   The best breakfast when you want something filling and fun! Gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free.

Every layer tastes like magic.  Even that sunflower seed butter drizzle at the top.  It's pretty strange that I don't have a lot of chia pudding or oat parfait recipes on my blog because I make them often.  In fact, when I transitioned from a gluten-free diet to a Paleo diet with a sensitivity to eggs, and nuts this became my go-to breakfast!  And to this day, it still is.  Chia pudding and oatmeal dishes are easy breakfasts to make, so why not pair them together?  Chia pudding on its own isn't filling enough.  Add that delicious oatmeal and fruit and you've got yourself a nutritious breakfast!  Paired with a drippy sunflower seed butter drizzle completes the meal.

Recently, I've been admiring all those gorgeous parfaits I see on Instagram, so in honor of all the talented recipe developers out there doing their magic, this is my take on the whole parfait trend sans nuts, gluten, dairy, banana, avocado, and refined sugar.  Yet, this combo is still magical in taste, flavor, and texture!

IS IT EASY TO MAKE CHIA PUDDING AND OATMEAL?

  • YES!
  • Chia pudding is so easy to make all you need are the ingredients, a jar, and a lid.  Add it all in, shake it up, and put it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight
  • It will be ready by the morning
  • You can even customize it and make it creamier and thicker or thinner by how much milk you use
  • Making quick cooking gluten-free oats from scratch will always taste better when you make it.
  • Oatmeal only requires two ingredients to cook: water and gluten-free oats and 1.5 minutes to make
  • After that, you add powders, toppings, and sweeteners and mix again
  • Top with fruit, drizzle, or dollop of nut/seed butter and your breakfast is ready

HOW TO ASSEMBLE CHIA OAT PARFAITS

  • Here's the deal, chia pudding is not super filling unless you add all the healthy and clean goodies on top and in between
  • It's not just about topping the top layer off with delicious goodies
  • Don't leave the other layers out.  In between each layer should be something with lots of oomph
  • Treat every layer like the top and final layer
  • That way when you dig in, you are really digging into nutritious goodness that will keep you full and satiated, and isn't that the point of a healthy breakfast?  It should fuel you for hours
  • Since these are nutrient-dense low sugar toppings, feel free to add a medley so that it makes you excited to eat it.  Plus adding a medley means you are adding lots of nutrients that your body needs

OTHER LOW SUGAR TOPPING IDEAS

  • pear slices fresh or cooked
  • apple chunks with cinnamon warmed or raw
  • fresh mango
  • sunflower seeds
  • pumpkin seeds
  • hemp seeds
  • If you can tolerate nuts:
  • brazil nuts
  • praline nuts
  • walnuts
  • almonds
  • pistachios
  • cashew nuts
  • macadamia nuts
  • hazelnuts
  • tahini
  • pumpkin seed butter
  • hemp butter
  • coconut butter
  • sugar-free chocolate chips or pieces
  • almond butter
  • walnut butter
  • cashew butter
  • natural organic popcorn
  • coconut unsweetened shreds
  • gluten-free carob
  • chia seeds
  • flax seeds

OAT PARFAIT TIPS

  • Unflavored collagen peptides, I use Vital Proteins
  • For my matcha powder, I use Soar Organics 
  • There are no measurements on how much each layer is.  Use however much you want of each layer
  • Looking for a simple chia pudding recipe?
