# Ingredient List:
→ Oats Base

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

08 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
09 - ¼ cup Greek yogurt
10 - 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
11 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Strawberry Layer
12 - 1½ cups fresh strawberries, diced
13 - 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
14 - 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar, optional
→ Toppings
15 - Crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits

# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and no dry oats remain.
02 - In a separate medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until the texture becomes light and creamy.
03 - In a third bowl, combine diced fresh strawberries with lemon juice and sugar if desired. Gently toss to coat evenly, allowing flavors to meld for a few minutes.
04 - Divide oat mixture evenly among four 12-ounce mason jars, using approximately ¼ of the mixture per jar as the base layer. Top with a layer of strawberries, followed by a layer of cheesecake mixture. Repeat layering if jar height permits, finishing with strawberries on the surface.
05 - Secure lids tightly on all mason jars and place in refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight. This allows flavors to develop and oats to achieve optimal texture.
06 - Remove jars from refrigerator and top with crushed graham crackers, additional fresh strawberries, or a dollop of yogurt and cream cheese as desired before serving.
