# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
04 - a pinch of salt

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
02 - If desired, add honey or maple syrup to the mixture and stir again until fully blended.
03 - Gently fold in the halved cherries to ensure even distribution throughout the oat mixture.
04 - Divide the prepared mixture evenly between two mason jars or airtight containers.
05 - Seal jars or containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
06 - In the morning, stir the oats well. If a thinner consistency is preferred, add additional almond milk. Top each serving with almond butter and a sprinkle of slivered almonds before enjoying.
