Begin by thawing the frozen sweet pitted cherries in the refrigerator overnight or microwave for about 30 seconds, then mash them lightly with a fork.

In a mixing bowl or mason jar, combine the mashed cherries with oats, plant-based milk, almond butter, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, and almond or vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine.

Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.

When ready to serve, retrieve from the fridge and add more plant-based milk if too thick. Top with fruits or granola as desired.
