# Directions:
01 - Select a clean jar or container with a tight-fitting lid (12–14 oz capacity).
02 - Add rolled oats to the jar. Stir in chia seeds, flaxseed, cinnamon, and protein powder if using. Add a pinch of salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using) until smooth. Add 1–2 tbsp water or extra milk if the mixture is too thick.
04 - Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats and dry ingredients. Stir very thoroughly, making sure there are no dry pockets.
05 - If the mixture is very thick, add a splash more milk and stir again.
06 - Stir in sturdy fruits or chocolate chips now, if using. For delicate fruit, add just before serving.
07 - Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (8–12 hours).
08 - In the morning, stir well and check the consistency. Add a bit more milk if desired.
09 - Top with a spoonful of peanut butter, fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts or seeds, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
10 - Enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Refrigerated leftovers keep for up to 2 days; add fresh fruit just before serving.
