Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup Adjust to taste for sweetness.
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon Optional for additional flavor.

Preparation
  1. Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and milk in a medium bowl. Give it a good stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld together.
  2. Fold in the Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add honey or maple syrup to taste, stirring gently to incorporate the sweetness.
  4. Fold in the fresh cherries carefully.

  6. Serve chilled, adding any additional toppings like nuts, seeds, or extra fruits as desired.

Notes

For a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of milk. Can be served layered in a glass and topped with additional ingredients for an attractive presentation.
