Ingredients
- 50g/1¾oz frozen cherries
- 1 tsp runny honey or agave syrup
- small handful chopped almonds, plus extra to garnish
- 40g/1½oz porridge oats or toasted rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if required)
- 150ml/5fl oz almond milk
- 3 drops almond extract (optional)
- fresh cherries, to serve (optional)
Method
Put all the ingredients in a jar, stir, put the lid on and store in the fridge overnight. If you prefer your oats warmed, microwave the mixture in a microwave-safe container for 30 seconds to release the aromas and flavours. Serve with fresh cherries and extra flaked almonds, if you like.
Recipe tips
If you have rolled oats, bake them on a baking tray in an oven preheated to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 for 7 minutes to make them toasty, nutty and fragrant.
Frozen fruit is a great standby for breakfast pots and smoothies. Blueberries and blackberries would also work well in this recipe.
