Summertime offers the opportunity to enjoy fresh fruits and veggies not in season at other times. Cherries are one of my favorite fruits, and they are packed with phytonutrients. My sister-in-law makes a similar dish which inspired the one I made this morning....
Ingredients:
3 cups organic rolled oats
2 red apples (washed and diced - not peeled)
1 cup fresh cherries chopped
1 tsp cinnamon
4 cups filtered water
I simply placed the oats into a 2 quart square baking dish (that had a lid). I poured the water over it, added the cherries and apples, and sprinkled the cinnamon over the top. I covered it with the lid and baked it at 350 for 45 minutes.
When I served it, I poured almond milk and a little bit of honey over the top. It only took 30 minutes for me to turn around and see the pan completely empty. We all enjoyed it and will definitely be making this one of our breakfast summertime staples.
After tasting the dish, I thought about using peaches as the fruit and doubling the amount (probably 4-5 cups) to make a healthier cobbler. I would add some raw sugar to the oats.
