    Instructions

    Step #1: Overnight Soak

    Place milk, oats, half of the raspberries, and honey in mason jar. Muddle or mix until well combined and top with lid. Let soak overnight in refrigerator.

    Step #2: Berry-licious

    Remove from fridge, stir once more, then top with granola and remaining berries. It’s vital to add the granola right before consumption, so it stays crunchy and doesn’t get soggy.
