# Components:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
03 - 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Strawberry Swirl
08 - 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
09 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
10 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
→ Toppings
11 - Fresh strawberries, sliced
12 - Chopped nuts or seeds
13 - Extra yogurt
# Preparation Steps:
01 - In a small saucepan, combine diced strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
03 - Whisk the oat mixture vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes or use a hand mixer on low speed to incorporate air and achieve extra fluffiness.
04 - Spoon half of the oat mixture into two jars or glasses. Add a generous layer of cooled strawberry swirl. Top with the remaining oat mixture, then create additional swirls with the remaining strawberry sauce.
05 - Cover jars or glasses and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and oats to absorb liquid.
06 - Remove from refrigerator in the morning. Top with fresh sliced strawberries, chopped nuts, seeds, or additional yogurt as desired. Serve immediately.
