Butter-Roasted Cherry Swirl Overnight Oats
Description
Butter-Roasted Cherry Swirl Overnight Oats combine slow-soaked old-fashioned rolled oats with roasted cherries to provide natural sweetness and a creamy, rich texture. The cherries are pitted and tossed with melted butter and a pinch of salt before roasting until soft and juicy, then partially mashed to create a swirl effect in the oats. The oats are soaked overnight with coconut milk, honey, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and vanilla and almond extracts, absorbing the flavors and moisture for a fully set, creamy consistency by morning.
This dish highlights the tender, buttery roasted cherries that infuse the oats with sweetness and a lightly tart finish. The presence of chia and hemp seeds adds a slight crunch and nutritional boost, while using coconut or almond milk lends a smooth dairy-free richness. The preparation is suitable for make-ahead breakfasts or snacks, and topping with shredded coconut and hemp seed provides additional nuttiness and texture. The recipe’s layering of ingredients during assembly makes it visually appealing with cherry swirls visible through the glass or jar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry pitted
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- pinch salt
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk or almond milk or cow’s milk!
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon hemp seed
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
to serve:
- milk extra
- unsweetened, shredded coconut
- hemp seed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven the 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pitted cherries on the sheet and drizzle with the melted butter. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing once or twice in between, until the cherries are soft and juicy.
- I like to mash a small section of the cherries – this makes it easier to swirl into the oats.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, milk, honey, hemp, chia, vanilla and almond extracts and the salt. Spoon a few cherries in the bottom of a glass or jar. Evenly divide the oat mixture between the jars. Use the remaining cherries to top the oats and swirl down into the mixture. Use up all the juice and syrup on the parchment too! Cover the oats and place them in the overnight – or for at least 8 hours.
- When ready to eat, top with shredded coconut and hemp seeds or anything else you love.
