Step-by-Step Instructions
- Microwave 1 cup of pitted fresh cherries in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds until softened. Mash the cherries with a fork, then stir in chia seeds, a splash of maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten-free rolled oats, 1 scoop of plant-based vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Pour in 1 cup of almond milk, add 1/2 cup of coconut yogurt and drizzle with maple syrup. Whisk until creamy.
- Layer half of the oatmeal mixture in a jar, followed by half of the cherry chia jam. Repeat with remaining oats and jam and top with almond butter.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight to soften the oats. This allows the flavors to meld and results in a creamy texture.
- In the morning, enjoy straight from the jar or warm in the microwave for 30 seconds. Top with slivered almonds or hemp seeds if desired.
