Mixed Berry Cheesecake Inspired Overnight Oats

These cheesecake-inspired overnight oats feature layers of sweet berries and creamy oats with crunchy graham crackers, just like the classic dessert. Any combination of berries works well here. If your favorite berries aren’t at their peak, swap them out for frozen, keeping in mind that they may add more liquid to the mixture as they sit.
