Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
Use sweet, ripe cherries, and halve larger ones for even juicier flavor in every bite.
To keep the recipe gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
Taste your oats before serving—add a splash of milk if they’re too thick, or a little extra maple syrup if you want more sweetness.
