# Components:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
03 - 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 1 oz)
05 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
07 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of salt
→ Peanut Butter Layer
09 - 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
→ Strawberry Jam Swirl
10 - 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
13 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
# Directions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
02 - Place strawberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and release their natural juices. Gently mash with a fork to desired consistency. Remove from heat, stir in chia seeds and lemon juice, then allow to cool and thicken.
03 - Divide oat mixture evenly between two jars or containers, filling each approximately halfway. Distribute peanut butter evenly (approximately 1.5 tablespoons per jar) over the oat layer, then top with remaining oat mixture to fill containers.
04 - Top each jar with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry compote, creating a swirled pattern through the layers.
05 - Cover containers with lids and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight. This allows flavors to meld and oats to achieve optimal creamy texture.
06 - Remove from refrigerator and stir lightly if desired to redistribute layers. Top with fresh strawberries or crushed peanuts. Consume chilled or warm briefly in microwave if preferred.
