        Fold in mixed berries, reserving some for topping if desired.

          Divide the mixture into individual meal prep containers or jars.

            If using, add a dollop of peanut butter on top of each serving.

              Seal the containers and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak up the liquid.
