Four jars of cinnamon and vanilla oats that thicken overnight, served with a warm berry compote. A make-ahead breakfast for the week.

Ingredients

Oats

2 cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
4 teaspoons packed brown sugar (light or dark)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups old-fashioned oats

Berry compote

1/2 cup frozen blueberries strawberries or raspberries
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar (light or dark)

Directions

Oats: In a large bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Mix in the oats, share among four jars, cover tightly, and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight, until thick and soft.
Compote: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the berries and brown sugar for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring now and then, until the berries break down and the juices thicken. Let cool in a bowl, then cover and chill until needed.
Serve the oats with the compote on top.
