Ingredients
For the cherry pie filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen pitted dark cherries thawed if frozen
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the overnight oats:
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats*
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2½ cups unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Prepare the filling:
- Place the cherries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the cherries soften and the juices thicken up, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Cool completely. The filling will thicken as it cools.
Prepare the overnight oats:
- Place the oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, and milk in a large bowl and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 6 hours or overnight.
- Layer the oats in jars with the desired amount of filling, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- *Make sure to use gluten free certified oats if gluten intolerant.
- Depending on the size of your jars or bowls, serving sizes vary. A good rule of thumb is 1 heaping tablespoon of the cherry pie filling for every 1/2 cup overnight oats.
- If you have any cherry pie filling leftover, it's also great served over Greek yogurt!
