Notes
How to make homemade strawberry jam : If you want to make the jam at home, simply heat 3 large strawberries in a skillet over medium heat. Use a fork to gently break them up. Add ½ tablespoon maple syrup and ½ teaspoon lemon juice and continue to mix. Take the skillet off the element once the jam begins to thicken then add 1 teaspoon chia seeds and stir to combine. Let the jam set for a few minutes before using in this overnight oats recipe.
Storing : Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week When ready to enjoy, I recommending adding a splash of milk to help loosen up the oats and then top with your desired toppings and dig in!
