Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- 0.25 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Meanwhile, if you are using frozen cherries, warm them in a separate small saucepan or microwave to defrost them slightly.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, divide it evenly between two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the cherries, toasted hazelnuts, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Serve the Cherry Hazelnut Oatmeal warm and enjoy your wholesome breakfast!
