🍽 Ingredients (for 6 Cups)

Base Layer (all cups):

  • 1½ cups rolled oats (¼ cup per cup)

  • 3–4 bananas, sliced (used in all cups)

Fruit Toppings:

  1. Strawberry Cup – ½ cup sliced strawberries

  2. Blueberry Cup – ½ cup fresh blueberries

  3. Mango Cup – ½ cup diced mango

  4. Grape & Kiwi Cup – 6–8 green grapes + ½ kiwi sliced

  5. Walnut & Cocoa Cup – 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 2 tbsp chopped walnuts

  6. Raspberry Cup – ½ cup fresh raspberries

Optional Add-ins:

  • Honey or maple syrup

  • Greek yogurt

  • Chia seeds

  • Almond milk or any milk

  • Cinnamon or vanilla

🥣 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base:
    Fill each glass with ¼ cup rolled oats. You may keep them dry (as shown) or lightly moisten them with 1–2 tablespoons milk or yogurt for softer texture.

  2. Add Banana Layer:
    Add an even layer of sliced bananas over the oats. Bananas add natural sweetness and creaminess.

    • Cup 1: Add sliced strawberries.

    • Cup 2: Add blueberries.

    • Cup 3: Add diced mango.

    • Cup 4: Add grapes and kiwi slices.

    • Cup 6: Add fresh raspberries.

  4. Optional:
    Drizzle honey, add yogurt, or pour a bit of milk if you prefer a soaked-oat texture similar to overnight oats.

  5. Serve Immediately or refrigerate for 1–2 hours for a chilled parfait.
