Notes
- Pro tip: Prepare the cherry compote up to 1-2 days in advance. You can sub the compote with 1 cup of pitted, halved fresh cherries if desired. If using fresh cherries, add 3 tablespoons maple syrup or your favorite sweetener to sweeten the oats.
- No chia seeds? Simply omit them from the recipe and decrease the amount of almond milk to 2 cups.
- Nutrition information does not include the cherry compote as it is included in a separate post.
- Depending on the size of your jars or bowls, serving sizes vary. A good rule of thumb is 1 heaping tablespoons of the cherry pie filling for every 1/2 cup overnight oats.
- Store cherry overnight oats in air tight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
