Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mason jar or glass container, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed at the bottom of the container.
- Pour the almond milk over the dry ingredients, making sure all oats and chia seeds are fully submerged in the liquid.
- Add the cocoa powder to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to prevent any dry powder clumps and create a smooth, chocolatey base.
- Drizzle maple syrup into the mixture, gently stirring to incorporate and provide a natural sweetness throughout the oats.
- Carefully add the chopped fresh cherries, folding them gently into the mixture to distribute evenly without breaking them down completely.
- Seal the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap, ensuring no air can easily enter.
- Place the container in the refrigerator and allow the oats to soak and develop flavor overnight, which typically takes 6-8 hours.
- Before serving, give the overnight oats a good stir to redistribute the ingredients and adjust consistency if needed by adding a small amount of additional almond milk.
- Optional: Top with additional fresh cherries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a few dark chocolate shavings for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe cherries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- For a creamier texture, blend half the cherries before adding them to the oats.
- Experiment with different plant-based milks like oat or coconut milk for varied flavor profiles.
- Prep multiple jars at once for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
- If the mixture seems too thick in the morning, thin it out with a splash of additional plant milk.
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of vegan protein powder or a tablespoon of almond butter.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
- For added crunch, top with chopped nuts or granola just before serving.
