Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by rinsing the cherries under cool running water. Carefully remove the stems and pits, then slice the cherries into quarters. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, quartered cherries, non-dairy milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly for about 3 minutes.
Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container, cover with a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
When ready to enjoy, stir the oats gently, add extra non-dairy milk if too thick, and top with reserved cherries and flaked almonds.
