Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup cherries stems and stones removed, quartered
  • ¾ cup non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup blueberries optional, halved
  • 2 tablespoon flaked almonds
  • ½ teaspoon chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • pinch salt optional

Instructions

  • Remove the stems and stones from the cherries, and cut into quarters. Halve the blueberries, if using.
  • Add all the ingredients, except 1 tablespoon of the almonds and a few cherries, to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight.
  • Spoon into your serving bowl, top with the reserved cherries and almonds, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Stir the oats very thoroughly so they are well coated in the milk. This ensures they soak up the liquid and become thick and creamy.
  • I suggest not being tempted to add much more in the way of chia seeds as it can overly thicken the oats and give a more 'earthy' taste.
  • If using frozen cherries it is best to let them thaw for 20-30 minutes before combining with the other ingredients.
  • The blueberries are optional, leave out and use more cherries if you prefer!
