Ingredients
2l mixing bowl with cover for each two-serving batch, knife and chopping board, spoon and fork, kitchen scales and measuring jug, one 500ml lidded pot or bowl per serving
Method
Use one 500ml covered pot per serving and a 2l covered mixing bowl for each batch of up to two servings. For larger households, divide all ingredients between batches first; in each step use that batch’s share of the displayed total amount. Wash, pit and halve cherries; chop almonds. Reserve 30g cherries and 5g almonds for topping.
Stir oats, 200ml milk, yoghurt, chia seeds and remaining 20g almonds in a lidded container for 1 minute.
Fold in remaining 90g cherries, cover and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight. Keep reserved topping covered separately in the fridge.
Stir, adding optional milk a little at a time up to 30ml if needed. Divide between the planned servings and add all reserved cherries and almonds. Keep chilled until eating.
