Creamy oats layered with strawberries and crunchy graham topping, perfect chilled and ready to enjoy.

# What You Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk, dairy or unsweetened plant-based
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt

→ Strawberry Layer

08 - 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, diced, plus extra for topping
09 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
10 - 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey

→ Topping

11 - 2 graham crackers, crushed
12 - 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until thoroughly combined and creamy in consistency.
02 - In a separate small bowl, combine diced strawberries with fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon maple syrup, gently tossing to coat evenly.
03 - Distribute oat mixture equally between two mason jars or lidded containers, filling each halfway. Top each with half the strawberry mixture, then repeat with remaining oats and strawberries, creating distinct layers.
04 - Cover containers tightly with lids and refrigerate for minimum 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to hydrate, soften, and flavors to meld completely.
05 - Remove from refrigeration and top each serving with crushed graham crackers and additional fresh strawberries. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired, and serve immediately.
