A convenient, make-ahead breakfast that tastes like cherry pie in a jar. Sweet-tart cherries and nutty almonds combine with creamy oats for a nourishing, no-stress morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice (whole, almond, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup frozen dark sweet cherries
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or directly in your jar, combine the oats, chia seeds, and salt.
  2. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and almond extract. Stir until fully combined and no dry pockets remain.
  3. Spoon half of the oat mixture into the bottom of a jar or container.
  4. Add a layer of frozen cherries, then top with the remaining oat mixture.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. Top with sliced almonds and enjoy.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For a vegan version, use dairy-free milk and yogurt. For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder with an extra splash of milk.
