Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 2 tablespoons peanut butter

• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

• 2 fresh figs, sliced

• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

• In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt.

• Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

2. Add Peanut Butter:

• Add the peanut butter to the mixture and stir until it is evenly distributed throughout the oats.

• Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.

4. Refrigerate:

• Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap.

• Place it in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.

5. Serve:

• In the morning, give the oats a good stir.

• Top with sliced fresh figs and any additional blueberries if desired.

6. Optional Toppings:

• Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
