Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup milk of choice — dairy or plant-based; swap to almond, soy, or oat milk if you prefer a lighter pour.
1/4 cup yogurt (optional) — adds extra creaminess and tang; omit for dairy-free.
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup fresh or thawed cherries, chopped
2–3 tablespoons cherry chia seed jam
Instructions
-
Combine ingredients: In a jar or small bowl, combine oats, milk, yogurt (if using), chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly moistened and fragrant.
-
Refrigerate: Seal and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours). The oats will plump, the chia seeds will thicken, and the flavors will meld into a comforting, ready-to-eat breakfast.
-
Add cherries: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they’re too thick, loosen with a splash of milk. Fold in chopped cherries and swirl in the cherry chia seed jam to taste.
-
Serve: Enjoy cold straight from the fridge, or warm for 15–30 seconds in the microwave for a cozier start. Top with extra fruit, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt if you like.
Notes
Healthy Overnight Oats with Cherry Chia Seed Jam is a make-ahead breakfast that’s creamy, fruity, and perfect for busy mornings. Oats soak up dairy or plant-milk goodness while a cherry chia seed jam swirl adds bright, jammy flavor.
