Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil (for greasing baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, slivered almonds, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently to combine.
Carefully fold in the cherries, reserving a small handful for sprinkling on top.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the reserved cherries and sliced almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as-is or with a drizzle of additional maple syrup and a splash of milk if desired.
