02 - Divide the oat mixture evenly into 4 clean jars or containers, approximately ¾ cup per jar.
03 - Layer each jar with your preferred toppings; for example, mixed berries with granola, sliced banana with peanut butter and nuts, shredded coconut with dried cranberries and chocolate chips, or fresh strawberries with almond butter.
04 - Seal jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
05 - Stir contents before eating, adding extra milk if desired for creaminess; consume directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
