1 tbsphemp hearts
1tbspground flax seeds
1/4cupsliced almonds
2tbspbrown sugar
1 1/2cupfrozen pitted cherries
2tbspdark chocolate chips
1cupmilk

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.
