In a microwave-safe bowl, add pitted cherries and microwave for 30 seconds to soften. Mash until smooth. Stir in chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to thicken.

In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free rolled oats, plant-based vanilla protein powder, almond milk, coconut yogurt, and salt. Stir until creamy and well-blended.

In a jar or glass, layer half of the oat mixture followed by half of the Cherry Chia Seed Jam. Repeat with remaining oat mixture and jam.

Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to meld flavors.

In the morning, enjoy the oats cold or microwave for 30 seconds. Add toppings like almond butter or slivered almonds.
