Description
Quick, healthy, and delicious cherry overnight oats. Perfect for busy mornings, make-ahead breakfasts, or a nutritious snack.
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a jar or container, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
2. Gently fold in cherries evenly.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight, at least 6 hours.
4. In the morning, stir oats and top with extra cherries, nuts, or seeds if desired.
5. Optional: add sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or nut butter for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
Frozen cherries can be used directly; they thaw overnight and naturally sweeten the oats.
Use plant-based milk and yogurt for a vegan option.
Add protein powder or nut butter for a more filling breakfast.
Swap cherries for blueberries, strawberries, or peaches for variety.
Adjust milk quantity for creamier or thicker texture.
