Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Thaw the frozen sweet cherries for about 15-20 minutes until soft, then mash them in a bowl until they release their juices.
  2. In a medium jar or bowl, combine the mashed cherries with oats, dairy-free milk, almond butter, and flaxseed. Drizzle in maple syrup, lemon juice, and almond extract, then stir until well blended.
  3. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Before serving, stir the mixture to combine. If too thick, add a splash of dairy-free milk and top with fresh fruit or almond butter.
