Why it works

Berries are tart. Bananas are sweet. Put them together and you get balance without adding any sugar. Overnight, the berries soften and bleed a little colour into the oats, and the banana goes soft and creamy. It is a fruit bowl and a breakfast in one jar, and it rarely meets an objection at the table.

If you are using frozen berries

Frozen berries are perfect here. Put them on frozen; they thaw overnight and release their juice into the oats, which is more flavour for no extra work. Fresh berries keep a bit more shape. Use whatever the fridge, freezer or market offers. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and mulberries all behave.

Make it yours

A drizzle of honey makes it sweeter for younger eaters. A spoon of yogurt on top makes it creamier. A few seeds or chopped nuts add crunch. No DIY Oats jar? Soak rolled oats in milk with chia and a few almonds overnight, then layer the fruit on.

Storage

Keeps covered in the fridge for a day. If you want the banana to look fresh, slice it on in the morning. The berries are happy to go on the night before.
