Add your mixed berries and cherries to the mixture, gently folding them in so they are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
- Refrigerate
Transfer the mixture into jars or airtight containers, sealing them tightly. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak up the flavors.

Notes
- Use Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats: Steel-cut oats won’t work well since they require longer cooking times.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture before refrigerating and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Let it Sit: The longer the oats soak, the creamier they will become, enhancing the flavor.
- Experiment with Textures: Consider adding some crunchy toppings before serving for added texture.
- Stay Organized: Batch-prepping multiple jars can save you time throughout the week.
