Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Thaw the Cherries: Place the frozen sweet pitted cherries in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. Alternatively, microwave them for 15-second intervals until softened.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the mashed cherries, old-fashioned oats, and plant-based milk. Add almond butter, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, optional lemon juice, and almond extract. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Soak Overnight: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, allowing the oats to absorb moisture.
  4. Store and Serve: Stir well before serving. Add more plant-based milk if too thick. Serve in bowls or jars, topped with fresh fruits, yogurt, or granola.
