Black Forest Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- ½ cup gluten free rolled oats organic preferably

- 1-2 tbsp ground flax
- 1-2 tbsp heaped cacao powder
- ½ cup pitted frozen cherries no need to defrost
- a few drops of almond or vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp maple syrup or sweetness of your choice if needed
Optional Toppings

- pitted cherries
- almond other nut butter of your choice
- plain Greek yogurt, plant based
Instructions
- In a bowl or mason jar, add the oats, milk, ground flaxseeds, cacao, almond extract, and any sweetener if using . Stir well so the cacao powder blends into the milk. Cover and allow it to bloom in the fridge overnight.
- In the morning, enjoy with your favorite toppings. I recommend plant based Greek yogurt, cacao nibs, a few fresh cherries, and almond butter. Delish!
