Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

Step 2: Sweeten to Taste

- Tip: Enjoy straight from the jar for convenient eating.
Notes
Pro tips: For added texture, consider using a mix of rolled and steel-cut oats. Change up the sweetness by experimenting with maple syrup or stevia. If you prefer a creamier consistency, blend the mixture before refrigerating. Add nuts or granola for extra crunch when serving. Consider using frozen blueberries for a more intense flavor.
