Creamy vanilla protein oats layered with peanut butter and homemade strawberry jam swirl. The ultimate make-ahead breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
03 - 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 1 oz)
05 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
07 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of salt

→ Peanut Butter Layer

09 - 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter

→ Strawberry Jam Swirl

10 - 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
13 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and evenly distributed.
02 - Place diced strawberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and release their natural juices. Lightly mash with a fork to reach desired consistency. Remove from heat, stir in chia seeds and lemon juice, then allow mixture to cool and thicken.
03 - Distribute half of the oat mixture evenly between two glass jars or storage containers. Layer approximately 1.5 tablespoons of peanut butter into each container, then top with the remaining oat mixture.
04 - Swirl 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry compote onto the surface of each jar, creating an attractive marbled pattern.
05 - Seal containers with lids and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight, allowing flavors to meld and oats to soften.
06 - In the morning, gently stir if desired. Top with additional fresh strawberries or chopped peanuts before consuming. Enjoy chilled, or briefly microwave if preferred warm.
