Cherry Overnight Oats
A healthy, easy make-ahead breakfast idea! This Cherry Overnight Oats with Greek yogurt is made with clean ingredients, protein-rich and the perfect way to start your day!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Old Fashioned rolled oats NOT quick-cooking
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk dairy or plant-based
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoon granular monk fruit sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup fresh cherries pitted and halved (can also use frozen cherries)
- Optional: 1 Tbsp. sliced or chopped almonds
Instructions
- In a pint-sized mason jar or any resealable container, add the yogurt, milk, vanilla and sweetener. Stir together well. Add the oatmeal, chia seeds and salt. Mix together until combined.
- Stir in the halved cherries until just combined.
- Place a lid on the container and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
- Once ready to eat, top with almonds (if desired) and additional fresh cherries. Will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Notes
Refrigeration time is 6 hours or overnight. This will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Sweetener substitutes: maple syrup, honey or any other granular sweeteners, like monk fruit extract, Swerve or Lakanto brand sweeteners.
If fresh cherries are out of season, feel free to use frozen cherries. I would NOT recommend maraschino cherries or cherry pie filling, as these are high in refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup and artificial coloring.
