Instructions
-
Oats: In a medium ramekin / heat-safe bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, milk, sweetener and optional protein powder. Mix until combined.
Optional: Microwave on high for 1 minute or heat over the stove-top until warm to soften the oat layer.
-
Yogurt "Cheesecake" Layer: In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt and maple syrup until combined. Spread the yogurt evenly over the oats.
-
Strawberry layer: Spread the jam evenly over the yogurt layer. (If the strawberry jam is too thick, microwave it for 10-20 seconds to help with spreading.)
-
White Chocolate Layer: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring well in between until smooth. Stir in the milk and yogurt and mix until combined. Pour / spread evenly on top of the strawberry layer.
-
Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
