# Directions:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently and gently mashing the berries until they break down into a chunky consistency. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and chia seeds, then let cool for approximately 10 minutes until thickened.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined with no dry oat pieces remaining.
03 - Divide half of the prepared oat mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers with lids.
04 - Spoon a generous layer of the cooled strawberry jam over the oat mixture in each container, distributing evenly.
05 - Top with the remaining half of the oat mixture, then finish with an additional swirl of strawberry jam on top.
06 - Cover containers with lids and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight until the oats absorb the liquid and achieve a creamy, custard-like texture.
07 - Before serving, add desired toppings including sliced fresh strawberries, a drizzle of peanut butter, or crushed peanuts. Stir if preferred or enjoy layered as is.
