🌟 Ingredients (Serves 2)
- ✅ 1 cup oats (old-fashioned rolled oats work best)
- ✅ 2 tbsp vanilla yogurt (for creaminess and flavor)
- ✅ 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or coconut)
- ✅ 1 cup raspberries (frozen or fresh)
- ✅ 3 tbsp water (to help break down the berries)
- ✅ Squeeze of lemon juice (to brighten the flavor)
- ✅ 1 tsp honey (optional, or swap with maple syrup)
- ✅ 3–4 tbsp vanilla yogurt (for layering)
- ✅ Handful of fresh raspberries (for topping)
💪 Directions
1️⃣ Prepare the Oats
In a bowl or jar, combine 1 cup oats, 1 cup milk, and 2 tbsp vanilla yogurt. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and soften into a creamy base.
2️⃣ Make the Raspberry Jam
In a small pot, add 1 cup raspberries and 3 tbsp water over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, mashing the berries gently with a spoon. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and honey (if using). Continue to cook, stirring often, until the mixture thickens into a simple, fresh jam. Let it cool.
3️⃣ Assemble Your Breakfast
Grab a clean jar or bowl and begin layering:
- 2 tbsp overnight oats
- 1 tbsp raspberry jam
- 1 tbsp vanilla yogurt
- 1 tsp raspberry jam
- 1 tbsp oats
- Finish with a generous spoonful of yogurt on top
4️⃣ Top It Off
Add a handful of fresh raspberries and a light drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra texture and nutrients. Enjoy it chilled!

✨ Tips for Success
🌿 Use rolled oats, not quick oats – They soak better overnight and give the best texture.

🌾 Add crunch – Top with chopped almonds, walnuts, or hemp hearts for extra texture and healthy fats.
🚪 Store properly – Keep in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
🍽️ Flavor Variations to Try

🥝 Peach Chia: Use diced peaches in the jam and stir in a tablespoon of chia seeds.
