Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp hemp hearts
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup frozen pitted cherries
  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add almonds to a pan on medium-low heat and toast until golden and fragrant (~5 mins).
  • Add oats, chia, hemp, flax, sliced almonds and brown sugar to an oven safe casserole dish (mine is 1.8L, but an 8x8 pan would work too!)
  • Whisk to mix.
  • Sprinkle with frozen cherries and dark chocolate.
  • Add milk and water. Stir to ensure no oats are dry.
  • Optional: top with more cherries.
  • Bake in oven for 23-25 minutes, until oats are no longer jiggly.
  • Store in the refrigerator. I like to prepare it by slicing off a square and adding 1-2 tbsp of milk. I heat it in microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
