Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats Use rolled oats for the best texture.
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk) Use a little more milk for a thinner texture.
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds Optional for added thickness and nutrition.
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (like honey or maple syrup) Adjust to taste.
Flavor Add-ins
  • 1 Peanut butter For peanut butter flavor.
  • 1 sliced banana For banana flavor.
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries For strawberry flavor.
  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini For zucchini flavor.
  • 1/2 cup chopped peaches For peach flavor.
Optional Toppings
  • nuts, seeds, or granola Add on top for crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, and sweetener.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly into 6 jars.
  3. For each flavor, add the corresponding ingredient (peanut butter, banana, strawberries, zucchini, peach) to each jar.
  4. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir again and add optional toppings if desired before enjoying.

Notes

Keep in sealed jars or containers in the fridge. Use within 3 to 5 days for best taste and freshness. For a vegan version, use plant milk and maple syrup. Add toppings just before eating so they stay crunchy.
