# What You Need:
→ Base
01 - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Toppings (select as desired)
08 - 1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
09 - 1 medium banana, sliced
10 - 1/4 cup granola
11 - 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
12 - 2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed)
13 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
14 - 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
15 - 2 tablespoons dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots)
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large bowl, stir together oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and salt until thoroughly mixed.
02 - Evenly distribute the oat mixture among four clean jars or containers, approximately 3/4 cup per jar.
03 - Top each jar with your preferred combination of toppings, such as berries with granola, sliced banana with peanut butter and nuts, shredded coconut with dried cranberries and chocolate chips, or fresh strawberries with almond butter.
04 - Seal jars with lids and chill in the refrigerator for at least eight hours to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
05 - In the morning, stir the contents and add extra milk if a creamier texture is desired; consume directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
