Shopping List
-
For the Oats
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (not steel cut oats)
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup plain Greek-style yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (Note 1)
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice (optional)
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- cinnamon, for topping (optional) For the Jam
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Step 1: Let's start with the jam. If using frozen berries, either thaw them in the refrigerator overnight, in the microwave, or in a small saucepan over medium heat. The berries should be soft enough to mash. For fresh strawberries, hull and chop them into pieces.
- Step 2: Transfer the thawed (and drained) or fresh berries into a bowl with the chia seeds. Mash the berries with a fork until soft and jam-like. Cover and transfer to fridge to thicken for at least one hour.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, stir together the oats, milk, yogurt, peanut butter, optional protein powder and maple syrup in a jar or airtight container. Transfer the oats to the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to several days.
- Step 2: Build your jar by dividing half of the total prepared oats into a sealable jar or bowl. Dollop the jam evenly over the top of the oats and spread it gently. Add the remaining half of oats over the jam. Sprinkle the top with optional cinnamon.
- Serve: Grab a spoon and enjoy your oats straight out of the fridge or slightly warmed. Scoop into those layers!
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Use sunflower butter for a nut-free option. Note 2: Want to switch it up? Try using using chocolate-hazelnut butter instead of the peanut butter and using banana slices instead of jam. A sprinkle of granola on top would also be delicious or substituting the chia jam for a different fruit jam variety.
