Ingredients

  • 12 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries, thawed
  • 10 tablespoons rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons raw almonds, divided
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 6 ounces coconut yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes as garnish

Instructions

  1. Add 2 tablespoons of the almonds to a food processor and pulse a few times. Add 10 ounces of the cherries and the almond extract to the processor and pulse a few times. Place the remaining (whole) cherries in a plastic bag and refrigerate.
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cherry mixture into 2, 12-ounce jars.
  3. Combine the oats with the chia seeds. Divide the mixture and spoon it over the top of the cherry mixture.
  4. Divide the yogurt and spoon it over the oats. Add the remaining cherry mixture to the top of the yogurt. Divide the coconut milk, and pour it into each jar.
  5. Cover the jars and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Before serving, rough chop 1 tablespoon of almonds.
  7. Stir the mixture in the jars to combine, and transfer to serving bowls.
  8. Top the mixture with a few of the refrigerated cherries, the chopped almonds, and sprinkle with the coconut flakes.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

These are fairly generous portions. Keep uneaten oats refrigerated, and enjoy later the same day.

      Hi Bintu! I hadn't thought about the benefits of soaking overnight - I thought it was only for convenience. I'll have to do some checking.

    I eat overnight oats almost every morning - so I'm excited to try this new flavor combo out!! Is there a reason you layer instead of mixing it all together to set up overnight? Never knew if that changed the consistency or not.. Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks, Natalie! No, no reason to layer, just what I did! I'm sure if you mixed it all up it would still taste fab! :)

    I am giving this recipe to my eldest daughter and telling her to make her own breakfast lol! She would ADORE this and since I don't eat cherries or almond extract (crazy I know) she never really gets either. I really should make overnight oats more often!

      Oh! Well I hope she's able to enjoy this one! So easy to make, and think of all the different options (so you can join in, too)! Thanks, Laura!

      Hi, Janella - thank you! Well, the texture is creamy, and definitely soft. Sort of the same as if you cooked them. Maybe cut the recipe in half to give it a try :) Thanks!

    Yum, I bet the coconut yogurt makes this so creamy. I also love that this is something I can prep the night before to pack with me the next day.

    I love the convenience of overnight oats (I actually prefer overnights to just made oats in general - I feel as though they're far creamier, perhaps because of the extended soaking process?) and I love anything with cherries in it. This recipe sounds delish! I'm definitely keen to give it a try. :) x

    Interesting combination. I would have never thought of putting together cherries and coconut. But I guess I'll just have to try it.
