Chocolate Cherry Overnight Oats


Recipe from Whole Food Momma
Husband-Tested in Alice's Kitchen
Makes 1 serving

This yummy breakfast is right up my alley.  Using a really ripe banana (lots of black spots on the peel) sweetens the oats.  Do yourself a favor and make a quadruple batch so that your breakfast will be set for four days!  

1/2 banana, mashed
1/2 cup old-fashions rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 Tablespoon flax meal or chia seeds (I used flax meal.)
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 cup plant milk (I used unsweetened almond milk.)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup frozen cherries

Add the mashed banana, the oats, cinnamon, flax meal, cocoa powder, plant milk and water to a 2 cup mason jar.  Put the lid on the jar and give the jar a really good shake.  Remove the lid and add frozen cherries.  Place the lid back on the jar and give it another shake.  Store in the fridge over night.  Enjoy cold in the morning (like I do) or put the contents in a microwave safe container and warm it up.
