Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen pitted dark cherries (thawed if frozen)
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup or your favorite sweetener
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats*
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup or your favorite sweetener
• 2½ cups milk (I used almond milk)

Directions

• Place the cherries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the cherries soften and the juices thicken up, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Cool completely. The filling will thicken as it cools.
• Place the oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, and milk in a large bowl and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 6 hours or overnight.
• Layer the oats in jars with the desired amount of filling, serve and enjoy!
