Creamy oats layered with fresh raspberries and chia seeds; a healthy, no-cook breakfast layered for convenience.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk, dairy or plant-based such as almond or oat milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
04 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
05 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Raspberry Chia Layer

07 - 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
08 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
09 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, optional
10 - 2 tablespoons water

→ Toppings

11 - Fresh raspberries for garnish
12 - Sliced almonds or granola, optional

# Method Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - In a separate bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork. Stir in chia seeds, water, and honey if using. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to achieve desired thickness.
03 - Divide the oat mixture in half and layer into two mason jars or containers. Add the raspberry chia mixture as the middle layer, then top with the remaining oat mixture.
04 - Cover the containers with lids and refrigerate overnight for a minimum of 8 hours to allow oats to absorb liquid and flavors to meld.
05 - In the morning, gently stir the oat mixture and adjust consistency with additional milk if needed. Top with fresh raspberries and sliced almonds or granola if desired. Consume chilled.
