High protein overnight oats with berries and maple in a jar

About this recipe

Oats, yogurt, milk, and chia do the work while you sleep. By morning the jar is thick, cold, and ready to eat.

This batch makes four jars. Each one is a full breakfast with oats, a generous scoop of yogurt, and berries on top.

Stir well before the fridge so the chia does not clump at the bottom. Add berries in the morning if you want them brighter.
