Sweetener
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Fruit

Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium jar or bowl, add the rolled oats and chia seeds. Mixing these first ensures even distribution and a uniform soak.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in your milk of choice along with the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine the oats with the creamy base.
- Sweeten and Layer Raspberries: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the mixture, then gently fold in the raspberries, saving a few for garnish.

Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for a brighter flavor and vibrant color.
- Adjust the milk amount in the morning if you prefer thinner oats.
- Allow 6 hours minimum soak time; 8-10 hours is ideal for creaminess.
- Keep some raspberries for topping to add freshness and visual appeal.
- Use a wide jar or bowl for easier stirring and layering.
- Can substitute chia seeds with flaxseeds or omit altogether.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and yogurt, and maple syrup as sweetener.
