Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup cherries pitted, chopped if large

Equipment

  • 1 container (at least 3 cups)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl or container that holds at least 3 cups, stir together the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt, then fold in the pitted cherries, chopped if large.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, until the oats and chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and softened.
  3. Stir well before serving.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, stir well before serving and loosen with a splash of milk if needed. Refrigerate covered for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended. Use plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
