Ingredients
  

Oat Base
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats do not use quick oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk almond, oat, or dairy
  • 0.5 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime zest tightly packed
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
Layers & Topping
  • 2 sheets graham crackers crushed into coarse crumbs
  • 1 dollop whipped cream for serving

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • 2 Mason jars or glass containers

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, briefly whisk together the rolled oats and chia seeds to prevent clumping.
  2. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, lime zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  4. Sprinkle a thin layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom of two mason jars. Spoon half the oat mixture over the crumbs. Add another layer of graham crackers, then top with the remaining oats.
  5. Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
  6. Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of leftover graham cracker crumbs, and extra lime zest. Enjoy cold!

Notes

If you prefer your graham crackers completely crunchy, do not layer them the night before. Simply sprinkle them on top right before eating. Fresh lime juice is mandatory for the best flavor.
