Description
These cherry overnight oats are creamy, easy to make, and packed with cherry flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (70 g) frozen sweet pitted cherries
- ½ cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (118 ml) dairy-free milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) almond butter
- 1 tablespoon (7 g) ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup, or to taste
- ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice, optional
- ⅛ teaspoon almond extract, optional
Instructions
- Thaw the cherries in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave. If using the microwave, let them cool before adding to the rest of the ingredients.
- Then mash the thawed cherries with a fork; don’t discard the cherry juice.
- Combine the cherries, the cherry juice, oats, dairy-free milk, almond butter, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, lemon juice (if using), and almond extract (if using) in a jar or another airtight container. Stir well until everything is combined.
- Store covered overnight or at least three hours to thicken up.
- Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
Lemon juice is optional, but a small squeeze can brighten the flavor.
Check for cherry pits. Even though the bag of frozen cherries says pitted, I sometimes still find pits.
