Cherry Compote
- 1 cup whole frozen cherries
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg optional
- pinch of salt
Basic Overnight Oats
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk or plain yogurt (or any milk of choice, dairy or non-dairy)
In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen cherries, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are heated through and the mixture has thickened into a syrupy sauce. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Once done, remove from the heat and let it cool completely.
To assemble the basic overnight oats, combine oats with milk or yogurt in a large bowl or glass jar. Stir well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, spoon your creamy overnight oats into a bowl or keep them in your desired container and generously drizzle the cherry compote on top.
- Feel free to add nuts, seeds, or even a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess!
- Use honey instead of maple syrup.
