Ingredients
Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup rolled oats 2 oz
- 1/2 cup plant based milk 4 oz
- 1/2 cup vegan yogurt 4 oz
- 1 tsp chia seeds optional, contributes a pudding-like consistency
- 1 tsp ground flax seed optional, for a nutrition boost!
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Parfait Layers
- 2 cups pitted cherries cooked down to make a chunky compote
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup granola
- cherries to garnish
Instructions
The Night Before
- Mix up the overnight oats ingredients in a jar or lidded container. Refrigerate overnight.
- Place a few handfuls of pitted cherries into a pot and cook down over medium low heat until the consistency of a chunky jam, about 10-15 minutes. Mash as needed with a fork or potato masher in the pot. Transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate overnight.
Assembling the Parfaits
- In the morning, you may need to adjust the consistency of your oats to your liking. Stir in some water or milk if it's too thick, or remove some liquid with a spoon if it's too soupy. You may need to tinker with the ratios of milk and yogurt to find the combination that you like best.
- With a spoon, carefully assemble your pretty parfaits in two jars or glasses, layering as desired. Admire, and dig in!
