Notes
The recipe is for a single jar but I highly recommend you make several at a time. It’s easy to line up a row of jars and add your ingredients to each one so you have multiple breakfasts ready to go for the week.
These jars are naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
To make these dairy-free, you can use soy or almond milk, goat's milk yogurt or coconut milk yogurt or soy yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips. You can make them vegan by doing the above and using agave or maple syrup in place of the honey.
These 8 oz. jars are a fairly small serving size. It’s plenty for my young kids, but my husband and I usually pair it with some other fresh fruit or small morning snack. You could also double the recipe and use a larger mason jar to make a bigger serving.
