Ingredients
  
  • ⅓ cup cherries, plus more for garnish
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup vanilla almond milk, unsweetened
  • 2½ teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons sliced almonds, toasted, divided, for garnish
Instructions
 
  • Pit the cherries and transfer them to a blender.
  • Add the oats, chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Process until smooth.
  • Divide the mixture between two glasses, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the oatmeal from the fridge, give it a quick stir, and top them with a drizzle of honey, sliced almonds, and more cherries.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Store overnight oats in a jar with room to spare since the oatmeal expands as it rehydrates, and so will any mix-ins you add.
  • I find a 1:1 ratio of one part old-fashioned oats and one part milk the best unless you add chia seeds. Use less liquid if you want thicker oatmeal and more if you like it runny.
  • Despite the name overnight oats, they only need to soak for 2-3 hours before you can enjoy them. However, the longer you soak the oats, the softer they will become.
  • Give the mixture a good stir before adding toppings and digging in. If the oats seem dry after sitting in the fridge, add another splash of milk.
  • Overnight Oats are typically consumed cold, but if you prefer a warm bowl of oatmeal, you can heat the prepared oats in the microwave.
